Yes. Drought is a noun.e.g. There was a drought that lasted for three years.
A drought is when an area goes for a long period of time without any rain. Once the drought has lasted long enough to reduce the resevoirs and the water aquifers (the water level in the ground), then it begins to affect the availablity of drinking water. Once this happens, there is a water shortage, affecting water availability in homes, businesses, and in agriculture. This water shortage continues as long as the drought lasts.
The longest drought on record occurred in the Atacama Desert in Chile, where it lasted for over 400 years. This region is one of the driest places on Earth, receiving less than 1 millimeter of rainfall annually in some areas.
