The KBDI is a daily value representative of the water balance where yesterday’s drought index is balanced with today’s drought factor (precipitation and soil moisture). The drought index ranges from 0 to 800; an index of 0 represents no moisture depletion and an index of 800 represents absolutely dry conditions.<\/p>\n\n<\/colgroup>\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
