Water Deficit
Water deficit refers to a situation where the demand for water exceeds the available supply. This can occur due to various factors, including low rainfall, high temperatures, and increased water usage for agriculture and industry. When water deficit happens, it can lead to drought conditions, affecting both natural ecosystems and human activities.
In agriculture, a water deficit can severely impact crop yields, leading to food shortages and economic challenges. Additionally, communities may face restrictions on water usage, affecting daily life and sanitation. Addressing water deficit often requires sustainable management practices and conservation efforts to ensure adequate water supply for all needs.
