Soil moisture is widely recognized as an essential parameter for drought risk assessments as<br />

well as for vegetative stress predictions (Robinson et al., 2008, Dobriyal et al., 2012).<br />

Depletion in soil moisture cause stress in plants and results in crop failure. The deficit soil<br />

moisture volume during crop growing season is a good index <strong>of</strong> agricultural drought intensity,<br />

indicating recent precipitation shortages and limited conditions for crop production (Keyantash<br />

etal., 2002). Many drought indices based on soil moisture have been developed for drought<br />

studies which are very effective in monitoring drought. Indices like the soil moisture index<br />

(SMI) (Sridhar et al., 2008, Hunt et al., 2009) and soil water deficit index (SWDI) (Martnez-<br />

Fernndez et al., 2015) are some agricultural drought indices based on the actual soil moisture<br />

content and known field capacity and wilting point at each location. In this study two indices<br />

were derived using Copernicus soil moisture index (SMI) namely Moisture Condition Index<br />

(MCI) and Soil moisture Index Anomaly (SMA) for drought studies.<br />

Methodology<br />

The Copernicus Global Land Service (CGLS) provides a series <strong>of</strong> bio-geophysical products on<br />

state and evolution <strong>of</strong> Earth's surface on a global scale with 0.1 degree or 12.5km resolution.<br />

Soil Moisture Index (SMI) is estimated in a timely manner and supplemented by long-term<br />

time series. A 10-day soil moisture was downloaded for the period 2000 to 2015. Following<br />

equations are use to calculate MCI and SMA.<br />
