Abstract
Drought is an atmospheric phenomenon that can effect on various parts of the environment. Groundwater resources is the drought-affected sectors which less are considerate than other sectors. Aspas Plain in Fars province in recent years have a significant reduction in groundwater levels. So, the role of management in this plain is important. In this research, we use a cross-correlation function (CCF) for investigating long-and short-term drought on groundwater resources. For this purpose, the standardized precipitation index (SPI) Monthly (one, three, six, nine, 12, 18, 24 and 48 months) in the period (1985-2010) was calculated, also groundwater resources index (GRI) of the plain during the statistical period (2002-2010) were obtained from 61 wells in the plain. Cross-correlation function showed that short-term drought with delay and long-term drought simultaneously have been effected on ground water resource. Most relationship is between groundwater and SPI 24, which linear regression results showed that almost 80 percent of the average variance water table of Aspas Plain affected by changes in rainfall (SPI 24) and nearly 20 percent of it is influenced by other items.

Abstract
Drought is one of the known environmental phenomenon and impartible part of change climate that occurs in each geographic region. In this study was used Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and streamflow drought index (SDI) for assessment and analysis of droughts incidence temporal. For this purpose, were used monthly statistics of 10 rain gauge and 5 hydrometric stations in Karkheh watershed and indicators investigated in 3 timeframes (12, 24, 48 months). At the first, relationship of precipitation and runoff investigated for drought effect study on surface water resources. Then the standardized data rate (SDI) with SPI time series at varies temporal interval using Pearson correlation was studied in the whole of basin and sub basin also compared separately. The results showed that temporal relationship of hydrological and meteorological drought occurrence is meaningful in level of 99 % with together and this correlation is maximum in 48 months. Drought occurrence in case study showed its effect on surface water resources with a delay of 2 months or 1 month that due to the karstic region.

Abstract
The permanence of rainfall shortage compared with the long-term average of meteorological droughts, reduces river flow, groundwater level and hydrological droughts. To quantify the drought, several indexes have been defined. In this study, two drought indexes, including standardized precipitation index (SPI) and standardized streamflow index (SSI), were used for meteorological and hydrological drought monitoring. The aim of this study was the monitoring the drought in 5 stations in Tehran province during the period of (1985-2016), determining the most appropriate cumulative distribution function for calculating the SSI drought index and also comparative study of meteorological and hydrological drought indicators in this province. The results show that the most suitable cumulative distribution function at the Darake station is Gen-Loglogestic, at the Firuzkuh and Abali station is Gamma, at the Namrud station is Fatigue life and at the Sharifabad station is Beta. Among the stations with proper functions, Derek with the highest P-value (0.996) and the lowest RMSE (0.916) had the best fit with the Gen-Loglogestic distribution function. Also, the similarity in the process of drought resulting from two different indicators,indicates that the meteorological and hydrological indicators are completely same, in other words, surface water resources in Tehran province are completely influenced by rainfall.
