Livelihood vulnerability to snowmelt-related drought (WFP, UNEP & NEPA - 2016)

Livelihood zones centered on irrigated crop production (all crops except poppy) are most vulnerable to snowmelt-related droughts.

Irrigated zones where poppy production is a main source of livelihood are considered moderately vulnerable, since poppy is more drought resistant than other crops.

Livelihood zones dominated by rainfed agriculture, pastoralism and non-agricultural activities (timber harvesting, cross-border trade, cross-border labor migration, and handicrafts) are least vulnerable.

The map was produced based on the livelihood zones produced by FEWSNET.
