Summary:The influence of precipitation deficit is shown in the paper. Dry conditions are described by Standard Precipitation Index (SPI). For this purpose, different time scales are used. The correlation between precipitation deficit and water table depth and soil moisture is investigated, the SPI time series are discussed. It can be used for statistical estimation of agricultural drought damages.
