Drought Risk Management

Drought risk management involves planning and taking actions to reduce the impact of dry periods on communities, agriculture, and ecosystems. It includes monitoring water supplies, promoting water conservation, developing infrastructure like reservoirs, and encouraging policies that prepare for potential drought conditions. The goal is to minimize water shortages, protect livelihoods, and ensure sustainable water use during times of scarce rainfall. Effective drought management balances immediate needs with long-term resilience, enabling societies to better withstand and recover from dry spells.
