Drought is characterised by the absence of rain , snow or sleet, which contributes to a shortage of water for a long period of time. Whereas droughts take place naturally, due to human activities like  usage of water and management,  exacerbates the dry condition

Explanation:

  • There are various consequences of drought. Since drought has destroyed crops, for example, farmers are losing sales and will have to spend more money on feeding and watering their livestock. Economic impacts may be overt as well as indirect, suggest rise in cheese prices in dairy production
  • Drought can also impact the health and welfare of individuals. For example, drought impacts community involve economic losses, depression or worry and tension because water is scarce, wages have reduced, heat stroke accidents have increased, leisure opportunities have deteriorated, and even human lives have been lost.

Preventing Drought through Rain Harvesting

  • In addition to cooking and drinking, rainwater gathered is often used to wash vehicles, feed livestock, regenerate groundwater levels and irrigate plants. It is also used in many countries with very extensive droughts and is also needed in a few residential areas in India.
  • The rainwater extraction is the process by which rain is obtained and extracted. Erosion can be managed, flooding decreased and the water runoff minimised by storing precipitation water within vegetation and soil or in cisterns to irrigate the ground.
