During the last century, Algeria experienced a rainfall deficit was recorded in 1944, then
successive drought periods since 1975 to the present day in Northen and Eastern. The most
recent has repercussions on water resources and on agriculture. In this paper, we focus on the
meteorological and hydrological drought. For describing and monitoring drought severity
periods, we used meteorological and hydrological drought indices: Standardized Precipitation
Index (SPI), effective Drought Index (EDI) and the standardized Runoff Index (SRI). Data
was recording for the period of 30 years at Wadi Louza catchment (NW- Algeria). The best
correlation between meteorological drought indices was found for 9-month time step. The
results show that severe meteorological identified in March-1983 till the end of August-1984
in Sid Ahmed region and extreme hydrological drought during 1993.
