Are there any consequences of drought?
Drought mainly causes long-term public health problems, including:
Shortages of drinking water and poor quality drinking water.
Impacts on air quality, sanitation and hygiene, and food and nutrition.
More disease, such as West Nile Virus carried by mosquitoes breeding in stagnant water.
In one of these the most dangerous things can happen is the displacement:
_People must travel further to find clean water. This usually falls to women and children, who must
sacrifice other work and school to carry out an incredibly physical task. Without access to clean
water or food, many must permanently leave their homes in order to survive.
