Abstract

• Drought has many faces, monitoring them requires a vast range of observations • Key questions: who is affected, how bad is it, who's fault is it, and will it get better? • Recent legislation has made the Bureau of Meteorology the natural home for drought monitoring systems. • The Australian Water Resources Assessment (AWRA) system is currently in the operational testing phase • Earth observation plays a critical role where the on-ground network is lacking • Chestnut 1: detail and accuracy vs. cost and usefulness • Chestnut 2: Australia does not have space agency or program.
