Abstract: Drought is the maximum complex however least understood of all herbal dangers. it’s miles extensively described as “severe water scarcity”. Low rainfall and fall in agricultural manufacturing has mainly brought on droughts. A droughts effect constitutes losses of life, human suffering and damage to economy and environment. Droughts had been a ordinary feature of the Indian weather therefore take a look at of ancient droughts may assist within the delineation of important regions facing drought danger and thereby management plans may be formulated by the government authorities to address the disastrous effects of this hazard. In latest years, Geographic records technology (GIS) and far off Sensing (RS) have played a key function in reading extraordinary kinds of risks either natural or guy-made. This examine stresses upon the usage of RS and GIS inside the area of Drought danger assessment. we’ve got decided on the Coimbatore district for our drought assessment reason. we’re the use of the GIS for the prediction of drought in the decided on area. we’ve selected 20 vicinity with accurate latitude and longitude for our assessment from 2015-2017. The factors taken into consideration for drought tests are temperature, wind pace, humidity and rainfall. The facts of the factors are collected with the Georeferencing and mapping the use of those statistics. From the mapping we have concluded that the drought assessment for Coimbatore district from 2015-2017 may be anticipated easily the use of GIS. The drought are anticipated in taluk clever inside the Coimbatore district and so the authorities has to take several steps to govern the drought in affected taluks.
