WRITE A SHORT NOTE ON DROUGHT ​

Answer 1

$your \: answer$

Drought is a dangerous condition which decreases the quality of life. It is termed as a natural disaster with harmful effects. A drought usually occurs when a region faces a shortage of water. This is mainly due to lesser rainfalls. In addition, droughts have proven to be fatal for mankind and wildlife as well.

Causes of Drought

Drought is caused due to various reasons. One of the main reasons is deforestation. When there will be no trees, the water on land will evaporate at a faster rate. Similarly, it lessens the soil capacity to hold water resulting in evaporation.

Moreover, lesser trees also mean lesser rainfall which eventually leads to drought.

Furthermore, as the climate is changing, the water bodies are drying up. This results in a lower flow of surface water. Therefore, when the rivers and lakes will dry out, how will the people get water? In addition, global warming is a major cause of this. The greenhouse gas emitted causes the earth’s temperature to rise. Thus, it results in higher evaporation rates.

Subsequently, excessive irrigation is also a great cause of droughts. When we use water irresponsibly, the surface water dries up. As it does not get ample time to replenish, it causes drought.

❥Drought is a continuous period of dry weather, when an area gets less than its normal amount of rain, over months or even years. Droughts can become dangerous to people and other land animals; causing famine and even creating deserts.

❥Drought is generally defined as “a deficiency of precipitation over an extended period of time (usually a season or more), resulting in a water shortage.”

❥A drought occurs when there is acute shortage of water. Lack of water in water resources such as rivers, lakes and ponds is called a Water Drought and lack of crops is called an Agricultural Drought. The most common factor for a drought is scarce rain or no rain at all.

❥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.

❥Here are the 5 natural and human causes of drought:

1) Land and water temperatures cause drought.

2) Air circulation and weather patterns also cause drought.

3) Soil moisture levels also contribute to drought.

4) Drought can also be a supply and demand of water issue.
