Description:Drought is a natural part of climate and occurs in nearly all areas of the world. Generally speaking, drought results from a lack of precipitation or changes in the timing, frequency, or type of precipitation. Drought is considered relative, compared to a historical balance between water availability and use. Regionally specific differences in precipitation, landscape features, ecological characteristics, and societal characteristics affect the area’s drought exposure, sensitivity, and resulting impacts (Crausbay et al. 2017). Because drought is defined according to these regional differences, it lacks a universal definition (Wilhite et al. 2007).
