Abstract
Drougth is one of main natural disaster in Indonesia. Some regions in Indonesia are very vulnerable to drought including Java. These research aimed to mapping droughtness level on agriculture area in East Java using MODIS Global Terrestrial Evapotranspiration and Thornthwaite Mather methods. A total of 20 MODIS Global Terrestrial Evapotranspiration image recording 2018 – 2019 and ground cek on agriculture area at some location were used for analysis. Research show that MODIS Global Terrestrial Evapotranspiration and Thornthwaite Mather methods quite accurate in describing the level of drought on agriculture area.
