Synopsis

"A drought is an extended period of months or years when a region notes a deficiency in its supply. Generally, this occurs when a region receives consistently below average precipitation. It can have a substantial impact on the ecosystem and agriculture of the affected region. Although droughts can persists for several years, even a short, intense drought can cause significant damage and harm the local economy. This global phenomenon has a wide spread impact on agriculture. The United Nations estimates that an area of fertile soil the size of Ukraine is lost every year because of drought , deforestation, and climate instability."
