Reclamation Drought Index (RDI)
This index can be used to determine and characterizehydrological drought hazards on a monthly basis at river basin scale. (source WMO and GWP, 2016)

Concise description:
Developed to define drought severity as well as duration and can also be used to predict the onset and end of drought periods. It has both wet and dry scales and is calculated at the river basin level, in a similar way to the Surface Water Supply Index (SWSI). RDI has water-demand and temperature components, which allow for the inclusion of evaporation into the index.
