  A drought is an extended period of abnormally low precipitation that leads to a shortage of water. This can affect rivers, lakes, groundwater, and soil moisture, impacting agriculture, water supply, and ecosystems. Droughts can be caused by natural climate variability or human activities that influence weather patterns, like deforestation or climate change. The severity and impact of a drought can vary widely depending on the region and how well-prepared it is to handle such conditions.
