Frequency and severity of drought in the Lake Victoria region (Kenya) and its effects on food security

Using monthly and seasonal precipitation data for the period 1961 1999, we established drought frequency and severity in relation to food security in the Lake Victoria region in Kenya. We used percentiles together with time series analysis for a 40 yr period, with the lower 25% of the quartile desig...
