Drought Mitigation

Drought mitigation refers to strategies and actions taken to reduce the impacts of drought situations on people, agriculture, and the environment. This includes practices such as water conservation, improving irrigation efficiency, and developing drought-resistant crops. Communities may also invest in better water management systems, such as rainwater harvesting and reservoirs, to ensure a reliable water supply. Education and planning are essential, helping people prepare for potential droughts, thereby minimizing economic losses and safeguarding food security. Effective drought mitigation aims to promote resilience and sustainability in the face of water scarcity challenges.
