Severe drought is a prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall, leading to water shortages in the environment. This condition can significantly affect agriculture, as crops require adequate moisture to grow. When drought occurs, soil can become dry and cracked, making it difficult for plants to survive. In addition to impacting farming, severe drought can also strain water supplies for drinking and sanitation. Rivers and lakes may dry up, affecting wildlife and ecosystems. Communities may face challenges in accessing clean water, leading to potential health risks and economic difficulties as resources become scarce.
