- Abstract:
-
Using the data of meteorology, remote sensing and social-economy statistics of Jianghuai watershed area, we selected eight indicators to build drought risk assessment system from the aspects of hazard factors, hazard-affected body, pregnant disaster environment, disaster prevention and mitigation measures. Also, the drought risk level in 2000—2010 in the area was evaluated through the method of the principal component analysis and multi-layer weighted principal component analysis. The results showed that the multi-layer right of principal component analysis was more suitable for evaluating the risk level differentiation; the drought risk level had the decreasing tendency from 2000 to 2010, the area with low drought risk level increased in about 19.8%. The risk level in southern area (Lai’an, Chuzhou, Quanjiao and Hefei, Feixi, Jin’an, Yu’an, etc.) was substantially lower than that of northern ones (Fengyang, Dingyuan, Huainan, Shouxian, etc.) and high risk level mainly concentrated in the central area.
