INTRODUCTION The latest 2014-2015 drought in Korea caused water scarcity of multipurpose dams that supply living and industrial water and led to difficulty with water management. This drought was so severe that it was recorded as an unprecedented event. Drought affects more people than other natural disasters and results in an enormous social, economic and environmental cost ([1]). Sheffield et al. ([2]) expected that frequency and severity of drought would increase due to global climate change. A regional drought is not limited to regional damages, but affecting food and economic matters over wide areas ([3]). Wilhite and Glantz ([4]) classified drought into meteorological drought, agricultural drought, hydrological drought, and socioeconomic drought. Therefore, Drought indices are estimated using rainfall, evapotranspiration, runoff, soil 570
