Question

what steps can be taken for prevention of drought ​

Answer 1

Being mindful of the amount of water you use each day can be a powerful way to prevent droughts.

Turning off the faucet while you brush your teeth, watering your garden early in the morning so less water evaporates, and installing low-flow plumbing fixtures all are good ways to prevent wasted water.

Reduce or eliminate lawn areas that are not used frequently.

Avoid over-fertilizing your lawn.

Applying fertilizer increases the need for water.

Choose a water-efficient irrigation system such as drip irrigation for your trees, shrubs, and flowers.
