The answer is true.
Droughts
Drought is a situation that arises due to long intervals of no rainfall or very scarce or little rainfall. It refers to the reduction in the availability of water or moisture to a considerably lower level that takes place over a specific period.
Effects of drought
- Droughts lead to a reduction in the available water store for the people. Drinking water and water for daily use becomes scarce.
- Drought affects the soil that loses its moisture. It leads to almost no production of crops and a reduction in food production.
- The unavailability of rainfall also affects the weather and makes the conditions hot and dry.
Drought management
- The Meteorological Department of India has set up a 'Drought Research Unit' that checks the climatic conditions triggering drought.
- Measures like rainwater harvesting, afforestation, the building of small dams have been taken into concern.
