Answer:
Wastage of water by humans is a major cause of drought is false about droughts.
Explanation:
- Droughts are caused by a lack of rainfall as the primary cause, although growing human demand for water is also a factor.
- A drought is a situation in which there is a severe (extreme) lack of water, food, cattle fodder, and employment for people as a result of insufficient rainfall.
- A drought occurs when there is no rain for an extended length of time.
- A famine could result from poor drought management because families with lower purchasing power, for example, are unable to access the available goods. Though hunger frequently follows drought, there isn't always a cause-and-effect link.
