What is a drought?
A drought is a prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall, which can lead to a shortage
of water resources such as lakes, rivers, and groundwater. It is a natural disaster that
can have devastating effects on agriculture, the environment, and human societies.
Droughts can be caused by a variety of factors, including changes in weather patterns,
long-term climate change, and human activities such as deforestation and excessive
water usage. Droughts can last for months or even years and can have significant
impacts on food production, water availability, and economic development.
