IDMP CEE Activity 5.6 by Anna Tsvietkova and Dumitru Drumea
1. IDMP: Activity 5.6 upgrading
agricultural drought monitoring and
forecasting - UA and MD
1st Workshop IDMP in CEE,
15-16 October 2013, Hodrusa Hamre, Slovakia
2. Main outcomes
Upgraded climate-zoning of Ukraine territory and Dniester
River Basin territory
Drought risk maps for agro sector of Ukraine and Dniester RB
– identification of drought prone areas
Development of forecasting models for identification of crop
yield losses caused by droughts (3 crops) UA
Development of proposals for the precipitation harvesting
and practices for moisture conservation in agro lands - MD
Drought remedial measures for the agro sector
Policy makers and stakeholders awareness raising on DM,
planning
3. Agro climatic zoning of Ukrainene
Made in 1990s based on meteorogical data 1956-1985 for efficient
using of climatic resources and increasing productivity of crops.
To assess water holding capacity of the territory.
Key index for zoning- hydro-thermic index Selyaninova (HTI)
ГТК = R/0.1∑ T
R – Sum of precipitation for period with air t > +10º С
∑ T - sum of average daily air t >+10º С
3 agro-climatic zones
Marshy- possibility of soil droughts 0-10%;
Forest-Steeper - possibility of droughts 15-40%;
Steeper - droughts possibility 40-70%.

Uninterrupted data of 136 stations for 60-140 observation period were analyzed for Ukraine
Temperature and .precipitation data analyzed
Nowadays climate of Ukraine is characterized by unsymmetrical warming in space ( on territory)
especially in winter and summer months. Average annual t increases more then on 0,8°С.
Increasing t in cold period is in average 1,35°С, in warm period – 1,1°С.
Average annual precipitation quantity in Ukraine has no changed. For base line period19611990 – 576 mm, for period 1991-2012 - 595 mm.
There is substantial changes in the precipitation distribution during year. In winter (January,
February) there is a decreasing on 1/5. in summer the precipitation quantity has increased on 515% in average.
There is no positive effect of precipitation increasing in summer time because of intensive
increasing of air t in the same time.

Planning for the next 6 months
Analysis of long term data of water holding capacity of different laywers of
soil (0-20 and 0-100 cm)
The experimental data on accessible water holding ( for winter wheat and
spring barley) in typical soils for each of zones on test fields
for changes assessment during 1961-2012 the data of 15 meteorological
stations will be used.
Trends in soil water holding under climate change will be analyzed.
The droughts risk zones changing possibility will be preliminary assessed.

11. There are 178 soil types on the
territory of Moldova (including Dnester
basin).
All soils differently degraded and various types contain different content of
moisture.
12. Experimental fields for moisture research (superficial
runoff measurements - solid and liquid part)
13. Moisture determination is conducted on a scientific experiment of the
Institute of Pedology, and Agrochemistry and Soil Protection “N. Dimo” ,
which has 500 hectares of the experimental fiedls in the southern part of the
Republic of Moldova with different types ofcrops.
The fields are placed on the slopes with a different slant: 1-30, 3-50, >70.
17. Further steps
•
•
•
•
•
Identification of the moisture retention capacities of soil in different parts of
the Dnester basin
Harvest losses due to the different moisture conservation practices in
Moldova (Dnester basin)
Identification of vulnerable areas due to the moisture content in soils
Estimation of best soil processing and landscape management practices of
agricultural lands.
Development of recommendations (hand book) for farmers, sectoral
authorities etc on soil moisture conservation practices
