Peru has several studies based on the Peruvian Tropical Andes (PTA) and its effects due to climate change. It has been shown that due to orography characteristics, different kinds of climate conditions are seen. In that sense, the PTA has a very complex climate system, which causes significant variability mostly related to an increase in temperature and a decrease in precipitation patterns. The Mantaro Valley is located in the PTA, Junin region. Where vulnerable farmers are already affected by poverty, practice agriculture based on rain-fed cropping systems. Hence, climate variability causes agricultural vulnerability and water resource scarcity. This study aims to elaborate the Spatio-temporal drought assessment over Mantaro Valley to provide information on local climate change events. In order to do so, the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI), recognized by the W...
