drought response

Drought response refers to the strategies and actions taken to manage and mitigate the effects of drought, which is a prolonged period of below-average precipitation. This includes monitoring water supplies, implementing conservation measures, and improving water management practices. Communities might encourage less water usage through restrictions or promote drought-resistant crops in agriculture. Emergency responses may involve providing water support to affected areas. Planning and preparedness are also crucial, as they help ensure resilience against future droughts by enhancing water storage and developing efficient irrigation systems.
