SouthEast Asia HydrO-meteorological droughT (SEA-HOT) framework: A case study in the Kelantan River Basin, Malaysia

Abstract

A holistic framework was introduced to project the potential hydro-meteorological droughts of the Kelantan River basin, Malaysia. The framework integrates the multi-model high-resolution climate projections of the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment – Southeast Asia (CORDEX-SEA) and the widely applied Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. The quantile mapping approach was used to reduce the biases in the CORDEX-SEA projections before applying into SWAT. The SWAT-simulated standardized streamflow index (SSI) was validated with observed data to check the capability of SWAT in drought estimation.
