What is a drought?

A drought is a long period of dry weather where little or no rain falls. Droughts happen often and naturally around the world. The severity of the drought depends on how little precipitation falls, how long the drought lasts, and the size of the area that is affected. A drought can cause low water in streams, rivers, lakes and ponds, water level in wells, and dried up vegetation. Some people do not realize that this affects their food and water intake. You can do your part during a drought by using less water, such as, watering your grass less and taking shorter showers.
