drought preparedness

Drought preparedness involves planning and actions to reduce the impacts of water shortages. It includes conserving water, fixing leaks, and diversifying water sources to ensure supply stability. People, communities, and businesses can develop strategies like efficient irrigation, rainwater harvesting, and updating infrastructure. Governments may implement policies to monitor water use, issue conservation advisories, and prepare emergency plans. Overall, it’s about being proactive to minimize the effects of drought, protecting water resources, ecosystems, and economic stability during dry periods.
