Drought Impact Lines

The Drought Impact Lines dataset highlights areas that have been physically impacted by drought. All drought impact lines have a drought impact label inside of them to express the longevity of the impact.

The impact lines are classified using impact labels as follows:

S – Short-Term, typically less than 6 months.

L – Long-Term, typically more than 6 months.

SL – A combination of Short and Long-Term impacts.
