Fain, and Dr. William A. Gould.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The results of the study indicate that there were 7 recorded drought episodes from 2000 to 2016, the most severe of which occurred between 2014 and 2016. During this period, the island experienced 80 consecutive weeks of moderate drought, 48 weeks of severe drought, and 33 weeks of extreme drought conditions. The areas most affected by the 2014-16 drought were the eastern and southeastern parts of the main island and the islands of Vieques and Culebra, where severe to extreme drought conditions were also recorded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The data was collected using maps from the US Drought Monitor, developed with the <a href=\"http:\/\/droughtmonitor.unl.edu\/\">National Drought Mitigation Center<\/a> (NDMC) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, which portray recorded drought conditions in areas of the US and Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n<p>Based on these findings the researchers identified the regions on the island where the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) had established agricultural conservation practices for drought adaptability and risk mitigation in order to determine if they coincided with the areas where they would be needed the most.<\/p>\n<p>The selection of the adaptability practices was based on their valuation in the NRCS Conservation Practices Physical Effects (CPPE) tool. The selected practices had a score higher than 2 on the CPPE ranking system which assigns a relative value based on their impact on (1) water availability, including water management for irrigation and soil moisture; (2) plant health, which focuses on practices that improve crop strength and yield; and (3) practices that contribute to soil quality and which minimize erosion (see Appendix 1).<\/p>\n<p>The study revealed that between 2000 and 2016, 76% of these adaptability practices were concentrated in regions with at least one week of moderate drought, 19% in areas of severe drought, and only 7% in places of extreme drought.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>One of the goals of the study was to identify the areas in Puerto Rico most vulnerable to drought and to promote conservation and risk mitigation practices that can help minimize the impact of this climate event on the local agriculture.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-396ddf1f42196ca838231e61a4602801'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The data reveal that the agriculture regions that are most exposed to drought are the ones that least employ conservation techniques to mitigate it. The reason for this disparity is the short duration and extent of the drought in relation to the short time that has passed since the phenomenon, which has left little room for an in-depth study of the patterns of conservation practices throughout Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the study takes into consideration future drought projections and the analysis concludes that the same areas that were vulnerable to droughts during recent years will be severely affected by these conditions in the future. The Caribbean Climate Hub, in its mission of communicating the risks associated with extreme climate events and promoting adaptation and mitigation strategies, advises farmers and farm owners to take these practices into consideration in order to reduce their vulnerability to these events and, in doing so, create a resilient agricultural future for Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-396ddf1f42196ca838231e61a4602801'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>REFERENCE<\/strong>: <strong>\u00c1lvarez-Berr\u00edos, N., Soto-Bay\u00f3, S., Holupchinski, E., Fain, S., &amp; Gould, W.
