drought planning

Drought planning involves preparing for periods of reduced water availability to minimize its impacts on communities, agriculture, and ecosystems. It includes identifying water sources, setting conservation goals, and developing strategies to use water efficiently. Plans often involve monitoring water supplies, implementing restrictions during shortages, and investing in infrastructure to store and conserve water. The goal is to ensure a reliable water supply while managing demand responsibly, reducing economic and environmental harm during dry spells. Effective drought planning requires coordination among governments, businesses, and residents to build resilience and respond proactively when drought conditions arise.
