Main characteristics of drought are:
i. It builds over a period of time with increased scarcity of water -generally due to insufficient or erratic monsoon rains.
ii. It does not have a well-defined start. It is a creeping phenomenon.
iii. Generally, it does not have a sharp ending.
iv. Drought can be localized covering a district or a group of districts.
v. Area affected by a drought usually takes an elliptic shape instead of a circular coverage.
vi. Although drought can occur anywhere if there is prolonged scarcity of water.
