Summary:Droughts are a recurring natural hazard with significant socioeconomic and environmental implications, particularly in water-scarce regions like Pakistan. Accurate identification and timely assessment of droughts are essential for implementing effective mitigation and adaptation strategies. This review study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of various studies about drought indices and use of remote sensing techniques used for drought identification and mitigation in Pakistan. Through an extensive literature review, we examine the key findings of different studies, identify research gaps, and suggest potential improvements for better drought monitoring and management in Pakistan.
