Abstrakt: Proper management of water resources relies on precise hydrological data interpretation, with runoff data being essential for handling drought risks. In this research, we evaluated the Mun watershed's hydrological drought patterns using the Standardized Runoff Index (SRI) for quarterly periods. We analyzed runoff data spanning 24 years (1999–2022) sourced from 33 Royal Irrigation Department stations across 10 watershed provinces. We applied both the Archimedean Copula to determine return intervals for drought intensity and length. Results indicate that these methods effectively gauge hydrological drought under varied conditions in the Mun watershed. Notably, Nakhon Ratchasima and Sisaket provinces are most susceptible to intense and frequent droughts in the upcoming 3.70–19.13 years. These insights are vital for strategic agricultural water allocation and gauging the success of water management initiatives, especially during Mun watershed drought episodes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
