🌾 Drought and Vegetation Analysis in Punjab, Pakistan 🌍

In this study, I used Google Earth Engine to analyze the relationship between rainfall anomalies and vegetation health across the districts of Punjab, Pakistan.

🔹 Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI): shows wet and dry conditions, helping identify districts vulnerable to drought.

🔹 Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI): derived from MODIS, highlights vegetation health and greenness across Punjab’s agricultural lands.

🔹 District Boundaries: make it possible to assess drought and vegetation patterns at the administrative level.

🔹 Correlation Analysis: A scatterplot of SPI vs NDVI shows how rainfall variability directly affects vegetation growth, crop productivity, and ecosystem resilience.

📊 This geospatial approach can support drought monitoring, early warning systems, and sustainable agricultural planning in Punjab — one of Pakistan’s most important food-producing regions.
