Drought and famines have killed up to two million people here. a long period of dry weather when there is not enough water for plants and animals to live. Lack or insufficiency of rain for an extended period that severely disturbs the hydrologic cycle in an area.

They occur when evaporation and transpiration exceed precipitation for a considerable period. Drought is the most serious hazard to agriculture in nearly every part of the world. Efforts have been made to control it by seeding clouds to induce rainfall, but these experiments have had only limited success; A normal, reoccuring feature of climate that originates from a lack of precipitation over an extended period of time, usually a season or more Droughts can occur in virtually all climates The precise definition depends on the region, but the definition is often determined by comparing recent precipitation to a 30-year average In some areas, precipitation that is only 75% of a 30-year average is considered a drought; a continued lack of rain for an extended period of time; dryness; although there is no universally accepted definition of drought, it is generally the term applied to periods of less than average precipitation over a certain period of time In south Texas ranchers say drought begins as soon as it stops raining; Scarcity; lack; A prolonged period of less-than-normal precipitation such that the lack of water causes a serious hydrologic imbalance; {i} lack of rain, abnormally dry weather; a temporary shortage of rainfall a prolonged shortage; Dryness; want of rain or of water; especially, such dryness of the weather as affects the earth, and prevents the growth of plants; aridity; A period of below average rain fall; A period of relatively long duration with substantially less than normal precipitation, occurring usually over a wide area; Thirst; want of drink; The naturally occurring phenomenon that exists when precipitation has been significantly below normal recorded levels, causing serious hydrological imbalances that adversely affect land resource production systems; There is no universally accepted quantitative definition of drought Generally, the term is applied to periods of less than average precipitation over a certain period of time; nature's failure to fulfill the water wants and needs of man; Climatic condition where water loss due to evapotranspiration is greater than water inputs through precipitation; a temporary shortage of rainfall; A period of time when precipitation is well below normal; Abnormal, dry weather for a specific area that is prolonged and causes serious hydrological imbalance; A long period with little or no rain; Prolonged and severe lack of water usually caused by a dearth of rainfall Drought can occur when rainfall occurs at the wrong point in the harvest cycle Drought also connotes the agricultural crisis and economic challenges that follow water scarcity, including famine; a long period of time with no, or very little rain; A long period of unusually low rainfall resulting in parched ground and abnormal withering of vegetation A drought is defined arbitrarily to suit the region For example: a period of 4 months without rain would be regarded as a drought only if people were unprepared for it and it was not normal However, in a desert region, a drought might be considered a succession of unusually dry years From most perspectives drought is the norm on the prairies of North America; An extended period without precipitation; dryth; drith; {i} drouth
