N/A / near real-time
Data requirements to use: None; Data used: Precipitation data from the Bangladesh Meteorological Department ; Data format: PNG Maps; Data access: HTTP; Concise description: Monthly update; Maps of SPI-1 and SPI-3 and deviations of max, mean and min temperatures of a month; covering entire Bangladesh. Indices included: SPI-1, SPI-3, Temperature Anomalies (Max, Mean and Min)
This modelling software can be used to simulate rainfall and runoff to estimate streamflows.
Application: Mapping hydrological drought hazard
Data requirements to use: N/A; Data used: N/A; Data format: N/A; Data access: N/A; Concise description: TOPMODEL is a physically based, distributed watershed model that simulates hydrologic fluxes of water (infiltration-excess overland flow, saturation overland flow, infiltration, exfiltration, subsurface flow, evapotranspiration, and channel routing) through a watershed. The model simulates explicit groundwater/surface­ water interactions by predicting the movement of the water table, which determines where saturated land-surface areas develop and have the potential to produce saturation overland flow.
This index can be used to determine and characterize groundwater drought hazards.
Not relevant / Not relevant
Data requirements to use: N/A; Data used: N/A; Data format: N/A; Data access: N/A; Concise description: A groundwater drought index derived from monthly groundwater storage output from the Catchment Land Surface Model (CLSM). Essentially an application of the Standardized Groundwater Index, but to groundwater storage rather than groundwater levels.
Data requirements to use: N/A; Data used: N/A; Data format: N/A; Data access: N/A; Concise description: SIMHYD is a conceptual rainfall-runoff model that estimates daily stream flow from daily rainfall and areal potential evapotranspiration data. The model contains three stores for interception loss, soil moisture and groundwater. The model has seven parameters. It is available as modules for scripting languages.
This modelling software can be used to simulate groundwater flow and estimate groundwater supplies.
Data requirements to use: N/A; Data used: N/A; Data format: N/A; Data access: N/A; Concise description: FEFLOW (Finite Element subsurface FLOW system) is a computer program for simulating groundwater flow, mass transfer and heat transfer in porous media and fractured media. The program uses finite element analysis to solve the groundwater flow equation of both saturated and unsaturated conditions as well as mass and heat transport, including fluid density effects and chemical kinetics for multi-component reaction systems.
Data requirements to use: N/A; Data used: N/A; Data format: N/A; Data access: N/A; Concise description: ParFlow is an open-source, object-oriented, parallel watershed flow model. It includes fully-integrated overland flow, the ability to simulate complex topography, geology and heterogeneity and coupled land-surface processes including the land-energy budget, biogeochemistry and snow (via CLM).
Data requirements to use: N/A; Data used: N/A; Data format: N/A; Data access: N/A; Concise description: MIKE SHE is an integrated hydrological modelling system for building and simulating surface water flow and groundwater flow. It can simulate the entire land phase of the hydrologic cycle and allows components to be used independently and customized to local needs. MIKE SHE can be used for the analysis, planning and management of a wide range of water resources and environmental problems related to surface water and groundwater, especially surface-water impact from groundwater withdrawal, conjunctive use of groundwater and surface water, wetland management and restoration, river basin management and planning, impact studies for changes in land use and climate.

Water Evaluation And Planning system (WEAP)
This modelling software can be used to simulatedrought risk to population,drought risk to municipal and industrial water needs ,drought risk to agriculture and livestock,drought risk to hydropower.
Application: Mapping drought risk to population, Mapping drought risk to municipal and industrial water needs,Mapping drought impact to agriculture and livestock, Mapping drought impact to hydropower
Data requirements to use: N/A; Data used: N/A; Data format: N/A; Data access: N/A; Concise description: WEAP is a software tool for integrated water resources planning. Operates on the basic principle of a water balance model that can be applied to municipal and agricultural systems, a single watershed, or complex transboundary river basin systems.WEAP simulates a broad range of natural and engineered components within these systems, including rainfall runoff, base flow, and groundwater recharge from precipitation; sectoral demand analyses; water conservation; water rights and allocation priorities; reservoir operations; hydropower generation; pollution tracking and water quality; vulnerability assessments; and ecosystem requirements.
This index can be used to determine and characterizeagricultural drought hazards. (source WMO and GWP, 2016)
Application: Mapping agricultural drought hazard
Data requirements to use: MODIS-based satellite information.; Data used: N/A; Data format: N/A; Data access: N/A; Concise description: Originated from work done by Huete and a team from Brazil and the University of Arizona, United States, who developed a Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)-based tool for assessing vegetation conditions.
