| Description: |
Located in northwest Baja California, Mexico, the Guadalupe River Basin is situated in a semiarid region where periods of drought pose serious economic, social and environmental concerns. The study area has highly variable climate, with most of the annual precipitation occurring during the autumn and winter seasons. To quantify the frequency and severity of meteorological droughts at the local (watershed) scale, this study investigates seasonal and annual precipitation data from 34 sites in northwest Baja California.
