As part of the World Food Program, investigating droughts is within the scope of our interest. Therefore, this paper presents results of studies on droughts in one of the most important economic regions of Azerbaijan. There are different methods to investigate drought. As chosen region is characterised by large precipitation, we preferred to use the SPI method to carry on our study.
