A prolonged drought affects the states economy and its citizens in a number of ways, firstly look at the question it has 2 parts: states economy- the main concern that the states economy has is that, because farming and aguirculture are adversely affected, ( they cant grow crops to sell or feed there animals ) they do not produce what they would normally produce eg crops for sale or animals for slaughter or breeding ect, this means that the government dose not receive the tax on the sale of these crops or animals.
this of course has a negative effect because the government then cannot spend that money on local infastructure ( hospitals, roads parks schools ect.)
and because the farmers and growers usually hire people to help( contractors- like people who plough there fields or cut there wheat or fix there fences ) and local suppliers ( seed suppliers, tractor sales, farm equipment ect) these business also suffer from a decline in revenue that in turn effects the government (taxes)
the 2nd part - its citizens are affected because all the jobs that i have been describing overtime diminishes as farmers and growers stop spending. this leads to unemployment - another cost to the government through unemployment benefit's ect.
then the social problems that occur with families that don't have the money that they used to have when they had jobs (not been able to pay the mortgage) or other payments they might have to pay( car payments, power bills, kids school fees the list goes on ) can lead to families breaking up and mental health problems and even crime. so there is alot to think about when one event occurs it can have a negative effect for a lot of people and orginizations

The drought destroyed the crops that were left from the Boll Weevils, and it brought on Dust Storms.
Yorkshire water in the UK was faced with bankruptcy after a prolonged drought in about 1996. Water supplies were privatised by the Thatcher government and It was forced to move water in road tankers to supply it's customers. This was very costly and was due to insufficient investment in building reservoirs and bore holes. They survived but only just.
City water rates are increasing due to the drought and each location now has to cut usage by a set amount.
