a drought

Определение a drought в Английский Язык Английский Язык словарь: dryth
drought: A period of below average rain fall, longer and more severe than a dry spell
drought: A longer than expected term without success, particularly in sport
drought: dry weather, especially when so long continued as to cause vegetation to wither
drought: {n} dry weather, dryness, thrist
drought: Dry spell, lack of rain, shortage of water
Drought: dryth
Drought: drith
drought: Abnormally dry weather in a region over an extended period sufficient to cause a serious hydrological (water cycle) imbalance in the affected area This can cause such problems as crop damage and water-supply shortage
drought: There is no definitive definition of drought based on measurable processes; scientists evaluate precipitation, temperature, and soil moisture data for the present and recent past to determine drought status Very generally, it refers to a period of time when precipitation levels are low, impacting agriculture, water supply, and wildfire hazard
drought: An extended interval of abnormally dry weather sufficiently prolonged for the lack of water to cause serious hydrologic imbalance, such as crop damage, and water supply shortages, in the affected area
drought: A period of deficient precipitation or runoff extending over an indefinite number of days, but with no set standard by which to determine the amount of deficiency needed to constitute a drought Thus, there is no universally accepted quantitative definition of drought; generally, each investigator establishes his own definition
drought: A deficiency of precipitation over an extended period of time
drought: Prolonged period with little or no rainfall
drought: An extended period with below average precipitation
drought: a long period of time with little or no rain
drought: Abnormal dry weather for a specific area that is sufficiently prolonged for the lack of water to cause serious hydrological imbalance
drought: a prolonged shortage
drought: A drought is a long period of time during which no rain falls. 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. Droughts involve water shortages, crop damage, streamflow reduction, and depletion of groundwater and soil moisture. 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
drought: 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
drought: a continued lack of rain for an extended period of time; dryness
drought: 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
drought: Scarcity; lack
drought: A prolonged period of less-than-normal precipitation such that the lack of water causes a serious hydrologic imbalance
drought: {i} lack of rain, abnormally dry weather
drought: a temporary shortage of rainfall a prolonged shortage
drought: Dryness; want of rain or of water; especially, such dryness of the weather as affects the earth, and prevents the growth of plants; aridity
drought: A period of below average rain fall
drought: A period of relatively long duration with substantially less than normal precipitation, occurring usually over a wide area
drought: Thirst; want of drink
drought: 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
drought: 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
drought: Climatic condition where water loss due to evapotranspiration is greater than water inputs through precipitation
drought: a temporary shortage of rainfall
drought: A period of time when precipitation is well below normal
drought: Abnormal, dry weather for a specific area that is prolonged and causes serious hydrological imbalance
drought: A long period with little or no rain
drought: 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
drought: a long period of time with no, or very little rain
drought: 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
drought: An extended period without precipitation
drought: {i} drouth
