Drought Action Plans

Drought Action Plans are organized strategies developed by local or regional authorities to manage water resources during periods of low rainfall and water shortages. They outline steps to conserve water, prioritize essential uses, and coordinate responses to mitigate impacts on communities, agriculture, and ecosystems. These plans typically include measures like restricting non-essential water use, promoting efficient practices, and planning for emergency supplies. The goal is to balance water demand with limited supplies, reducing the severity of drought effects while ensuring vital needs are met responsibly and sustainably.
