drought adaptation

Drought adaptation refers to the strategies that plants, animals, and humans use to survive during periods of low water availability. For plants, this might mean developing deep roots, waxy leaves, or the ability to store water. Animals may alter their behaviors, such as being more active at night, to avoid the heat. Humans adapt by using water-efficient farming practices, selecting drought-resistant crops, and implementing water conservation techniques. Overall, these adaptations help ensure survival and maintain ecosystems even when water resources are scarce.
