Drought Management

Drought management refers to strategies and practices aimed at reducing the impacts of drought, a prolonged period of below-average precipitation. This can involve monitoring weather patterns, implementing water conservation measures, and planning for water resource allocation. Communities may develop drought response plans that prioritize essential water use and promote sustainable practices like rainwater harvesting and efficient irrigation. Education and awareness programs also help people understand the importance of conserving resources. Effective drought management ensures that water supplies remain sufficient for drinking, agriculture, and ecosystems during dry periods, ultimately safeguarding livelihoods and the environment.
