45. What is drought ? When does drought occur? What are the problems faced by the people living in areas having drought conditions ?
koshyadarsh:
Drought is when the water dries up and there is no sufficient water to quench the local community. it usually occurs during the summer and the nearby people are affected with sometimes a serious case of dehydration and malnutrition. Malnutrition occurs because the plants also don't have water and the lack of water in the plants can affect the animals/humans who eat it.

Answer:
- A drought is an event of prolonged shortages in the water supply, whether atmospheric, surface water or ground water. A drought can last for months or years, or may be declared after as few as 15 days.
- Droughts happen when there is not enough rain for a long period of time. It's not like a dry spell - there is so little precipitation (rain, snow, sleet or any kind of moisture) that a whole region starts to dry out. Sometimes a drought takes decades to develop fully and they are very difficult to predict.
- Health problems related to low water flows and that creates loss of human life. Reduced incomes which affect their standard of living. Migration from place of scarcity to place of abundance. ... If they didn't get enough of water or food due to drought that will create an overall environmental problems.
