Short summary
The classical assumption that droughts are caused solely by climatic factors is outdated in a human-modified world. This study models the impact of human activities on the hydrological characteristics of droughts using two rainfall-runoff models. The study shows that both models demonstrate similar positive and negative impacts, despite differences in magnitude. The results emphasize the need for an integrated approach to water resources management that considers both climatic and human factors.
