چکیده
مسألهی آب یکی از اساسیترین مسایل امروزی جوامع انسانی است، اما در سایهی خشکسالی، به یک چالش جدی برای تصمیمسازان جامعه تبدیل شده و تمامی ابعاد توسعهی جامعه را متاثر میکند. در استان لرستان، در سالهای اخیر تعداد قابل توجهی از رودخانهها و چشمهها خشکیده است که اغلب، آن را به خشکسالی جوی (کمبود بارش) نسبت میدهند. در این پژوهش با استفاده از نمایهی درصد نرمال بارش به ارزیابی این نوع خشکسالی در بازهی زمانی 1988 تا 2017 پرداخته شد. محاسبه درصد نرمال بارش نشان میدهد که فقط درصد کمی (بین 30 تا 6/6 درصد) از دورهی سیسالهی مورد بررسی دارای خشکسالی، آنهم از نوع ضعیف (کمی خشک) بودهاند. این بدان معنی است که خشکسالی به صورت قابل توجه در این دوره رخ نداده است. بنابراین بروز عوارض خشکسالی متوسط تا شدید که به صورت خشک شدن بسیاری از چشمهها، رودخانهها، و آبشارها نمایان شده است، نمیتواند بهتنهایی ناشی از خشکسالی جوی باشد. این مساله میتواند ریشه در برداشت بیرویهی آبهای زیرزمینی داشته باشد که موجب افت ناگهانی و شدید سطح سفره و بروز علایم خشکسالی شدید شده است. واکاوی دورهی بازگشت خشکسالی نیز تایید میکند که خشکسالی شدید در اغلب ایستگاهها دارای دورهی بازگشت بسیار طولانی و غیرقابل محاسبه است. خشکسالی متوسط نیز دورهی بازگشتی بیشتر از هزار سال دارد. تنها خشکسالی ضعیف دارای دورهی بازگشت 100 تا 200 سال است، اما این نوع خشکسالی نمیتواند مسئول بروز عوارض خشکسالی شدید باشد، پس باید به دنبال عوامل انسانی مانند مدیریت منابع بود که مرتبط با خشکسالی اجتماعی-اقتصادی است. بر پایهی میزان دادههای بازسازی شده، ضریب اطمینان نتایج بهدست آمده برای ایستگاههای خرمآباد، الیگودرز و بروجرد 100%، برای ازنا، دورود و نورآباد 7/56%، پلدختر 4/63 % و برای کوهدشت و الشتر 7/66 % میباشد.

چکیده [English]
1-Introduction
One of the most important issues, facing the human society and environment, is water resources management. Regarding the drought, this issue turns to a serious challenge for decision makers, and affect the the people more than other natural hazards (Hagman, 1984). Normally, drought occurs in all climatic conditions (Dai, 2010). Through the current research, we try to investigate drought in Lurestan Province using Percent of Normal precipitation Index (PNI) which evaluates meteorological drought (Hayes, 2006; Zargar et al., 2011). Lurestan Province located in the western Iran, and has an area of about 29,308 Km2. Geographically, it sits between northern latitudes of 32֯ 38' 39" and 34֯ 24' 17" and between eastern longitudes of 46֯ 52' 14" and 50֯ 01' 59". Climatic differences has led to the emergence of three conspicuous climates: (1) mountainous cold climate in the northern and eastern parts, (2) temperate climate in central parts, and (3) warm climate in the south and southeastern parts.
2-Methodology
The meteorological drought intensity is evaluated through different methods including Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), Percent of Normal Index (PNI), Deciles Index (DI), Effective Drought Index (EDI), China-Z (CZI), Modified China-Z (MCZI), Rainfall Anomaly Index (RAI), Z-Score Index (ZSI), Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), (Willeke et al., 1994; Byun and Wilhite, 1999; Hayes, 2006; Salehnia et al., 2017). To evaluate drought, a period of thirty-year (1988 – 2017) data were adopted from nine synoptic weather stations including Khorramabad, Borujerd, Aligudarz, Aleshtar, Noorabad, Poldokhtar, Kohdasht, Azna, and Dorud. For calculating PNI, the following equation has been applied (equ.1):
PNI=P/P ̅ *100 (1)
where PNI stands for Percent of Normal precipitation Index, P for annual precipitation (mm), P ̅ for average precipitation of the thirty-year period. PNI (%) ≤110 represents Moderately to Extremely wet climate, 80-110 Normal, 55-80 Moderately dry, 40-55 Very dry, and 40≥ Extremely dry (Morid et al., 2006).
3-Resultsand Discussion
Considering 67 years recorded data for Khorramabad, 32 years for Aligudarz, and 30 years for borujerd, these stations are considered as milestones to reconstruct the data for stations with lack of data for the thirty-year period of study. For other stations, 13 to 17 years of data were reconstructed (Table 1). To find the best reference station for incomplete stations, geographic and climatic resemblance with the stations of complete thirty-year period data was considered. Temperature, precipitation, De Martonne aridity index, and climatic classification by Iran Meteorological Organization (IMO) were evaluated for all stations to find similarities.

4-Conclusion
None of stations show Extreme drought. Severe drought is observed in 6 stations with little percentages (3.3-6.6%). Weak droughts has been recorded between 6.6 to 30% in all stations (Table 2). Therefore, dried 80% of springs and rivers in Lurestan could not be solely resulted from meteorological drought in Lurestan. The role of water management in creating this crisis should not be neglected.
