Midwest DEWS Drought Mitigation Research
Identifying and implementing drought mitigation measures is one of three pillars of drought planning, and it is essential for reducing the negative effects of drought in a proactive manner. However, stakeholders have expressed difficulty in identifying a broad range of appropriate mitigation options. This project examined drought mitigation and related actions at the state and county levels within the Midwest Drought Early Warning System (DEWS) and Michigan to help provide a better understanding of the full range of drought mitigation actions implemented in the region.
