Drought and its Impact
A drought is a period of unusually dry weather that lasts for a long time, causing a shortage of water. When there isn't enough rain, crops cannot grow properly, leading to crop losses. This can reduce the amount of food available for people and animals, affect farmers' incomes, and even lead to shortages of drinking water.
