Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study is to ensure a model using GIS technologies to reduce the negative consequences of the drought and to propose redevelopment of irrigation and growing plant species adapted to the climatic conditions in the study area. Such model is presented in form of three maps: hypsometric, relief and CLC. The maps can provide important information for the investigated area, and it is a useful tool for analysis of the possibilities of cultivating agricultural lands affected by the desertification – drought. Data from the National Institute of Statistics for the period 2015-2019 were also used.
