Droughts are greatly feared in India, impacting food production, the economy and the livelihoods of millions of farmers. 60% of India’s population is engaged in agriculture.
Drought also affects the environment in many different ways. Plants and animals depend on water, just like people. When a drought occurs, their food supply can shrink and their habitat can be damaged. Sometimes the damage is only temporary and their habitat and food supply return to normal when the drought is over. But sometimes drought's impact on the environment can last a long time, maybe forever. Examples of environmental impacts include:
Losses or destruction of fish and wildlife habitat
Lack of food and drinking water for wild animals
Increase in disease in wild animals, because of reduced food and water supplies
Migration of wildlife
Increased stress on endangered species or even extinction
Lower water levels in reservoirs, lakes, and ponds
Loss of wetlands
More wildfires
Wind and water erosion of soils
Poor soil quality
Drought can also affect people's health and safety. Examples of drought impacts on society include anxiety or depression about economic losses, conflicts when there is not enough water, reduced incomes, fewer recreational activities, higher incidents of heat stroke, and even loss of human life.
