Drought monitoring is an important element to manage the effects drought. The predictions of rainfall are not accurate, which might lead to floods or drought due to which risk occurs. This paper presents drought risk control wherein drought monitoring is an important element. It is being monitored by the use of drought indices. Remote sensing and hydrological modelling strategies are applied to provide a set of all types of drought indicators. Drought indicators which consist of dryness signs, SPI (standardized precipitation index) and start of seasons which are produced by the usage of Satellite-based rainfall estimators. Vegetation condition is taken to analyse Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). Agro-hydrologic models are used to combine numerous satellite data to produce multiple indicators of droughts. All the data set are integrated using different parameters to offer statistics about the severity and intensity of drought situations
