Round 2

Reviewer 2 Report (Previous Reviewer 3)

Dear Authors,

Thank you for your efforts in this work and the revised version of your manuscript.

All the best.

This manuscript is a resubmission of an earlier submission. The following is a list of the peer review reports and author responses from that submission.

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The current version requires more work. With six co-authors, I think you can deliver more solid research. At its current stage, it sounds like it has potential, but it is hard from my perspective to see the novelty of the work. I like the methodology and the dataset used, but it did not deliver a complete research article. 

Reviewer 2 Report

The author studied the drought events using Hima-8 data using NDVI，NDWI and other parameters， however， there some points need to be evaluated before it can be accept.

the main problems is lack of backgroud explaination and new references should be added.

please see the attached document.
