When regions do not receive enough precipitation to account for the amount of water necessary to thrive, it is called a water drought.

Because they are rain shadow regions.
Primarily because of its continental location, far from a large body of water to provide moisture. Additionally, the closest ocean is the Arctic for much of this region, and the Arctic Ocean is frozen much of the year which removes it as a source of moisture. Therefore, the air masses that move through these regions have limited amounts of water to work with to produce clouds and precipitation.
A climate classification system divides regions according to temperature, the amount of precipitation and plants found in the area. The most popular classification system is the Koppen climate classification
Highland regions are considered a distinct climate because they tend to have shorter growing seasons, more extremes in daily temperatures, and more precipitation.

Deserts are defined as regions that receive less than 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation per year on average. Some deserts receive virtually no precipitation, however.
Deserts are regions which receive such low levels of precipitation (rain) that there is not enough water for many types of plants to live there.
Deserts receive less precipitation than semiarid regions.
Deserts are defined as regions that receive less than 10 inches (250 mm) of rainfall per year on average.Lack of precipitation
Deserts are defined as regions that receive less than 10 inches (250 mm) of annual precipitation on average. Some deserts receive virtually no rainfall for years.
