Composite water anomaly index map for Southeast Asia, Mar 2015 - May 2015.

The map depicts water anomalies forecast for March through May 2015. Virtually the entire region is forecast to have water deficits with return periods greater than 5 years, and large portions of the region are forecast to have return periods greater than 10 years.

Many analyses reported in ISciences-authored blog posts are based on data generated by the ISciences Water Security Indicator Model (WSIM). Other sources, if used, are referenced in footnotes accompanying individual posts. WSIM is a validated capability that produces monthly reports on current and forecast global freshwater surpluses and deficits with lead times of 1-9 months at 0.25°x0.25° resolution. This capability has been in continuous operation since April 2011 and has proven to provide reliable forecasts of emerging water security concerns in that time-frame. WSIM has the ability to assess the impacts of water anomalies on people, agriculture, and electricity generation. Detailed data, customized visualizations, and reports are available for purchase.
