摘      要：Aridity occurs due to natural factors like droughts, changing weather patterns, and fluctuations in precipitation and temperature, impacting agriculture, wildlife, the economy, and the environment. Monitoring these phenomena is vital for understanding their impact on past, present, and future arid zones. The purpose of this project was to create a web-based geotechnological platform for monitoring arid regions in northwest Mexico (SADEWAridMonitor). A key component of the methodology involved integrating various computational tools, including web servers, map servers, database servers, programming languages, geographic information system libraries, and web development tools. The web platform handled all geoprocessing tasks and displayed maps of arid regions along with related data. Consequently, the platform generates maps of dry areas in the past, present, and future. Additionally, users have the option to download arid zone maps and associated factors, which can be viewed in any Geographic Information Systems software.
