New farming methods, such as monoculture and intensive irrigation, often led to the depletion of soil nutrients and increased water demand, exacerbating drought conditions. These practices reduced biodiversity and compromised the land's natural resilience, making ecosystems more vulnerable to dry spells. Additionally, the over-extraction of groundwater for irrigation can lower water tables, further diminishing available water resources during droughts. Consequently, these methods not only strained local environments but also increased farmers' reliance on water, intensifying the impacts of drought.

How do sediment and erosion effect farming?
Erosion is worse when farms are in areas with high rainfall or severe drought.
What will happen if the drought gets worse?
if a drought gets worse then you will be limited on your water
How has problem of drought gotten worse over time?
How did a drought got worse over the time?
What would be worse a blizzard or a drought?
Depends where you are... If you are in northen and southern areas where is it very chilly, then a blizzard will be worse. If you live in Texas or Mexico, a drought would be worse.... Well, now since technology is enhancing, water can be spread into places of droughts...
Are sanitary conditions getting better or worse?
worse.
How did the human activities made it worse for the dust bowl in 1930?
Human activities such as overgrazing, monoculture farming, and improper plowing techniques stripped the land of its native grasses and disrupted the natural ecosystem, making the soil more susceptible to erosion and the formation of dust storms during the severe drought conditions of the 1930s. Additionally, lack of sustainable farming practices exacerbated the situation by depleting soil nutrients and making the land more vulnerable to wind erosion.
How bad is the 2009 drought?
Huge huge huge. It cant get worse than... i shouldn't say that . The drought, scientists say, is the biggest we have had in a long time. in a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time.
What are the dangers of not reacting to possible global warming?
In brief: Sea Level Rise. Worse Storms. Drought in some places. Wars about resources.
Which is true about the effect farming has on erosion?
Farming can contribute to erosion by removing vegetation that helps stabilize soil and expose it to wind and water erosion. Over tilling of soil also disrupts soil structure and can increase erosion rates. Implementing practices like conservation tillage and cover cropping can help reduce erosion on farmlands.
Why were living conditions so much worse at Birkenau?
just cuz
How did the drought in the west make the great depression worse?
The drought in the west, known as the Dust Bowl, exacerbated the Great Depression in several ways. It led to widespread crop failures, destroyed farmland, and caused massive dust storms, which displaced many farmers and their families. These conditions worsened the economic hardship already experienced during the Great Depression, as it reduced agricultural output, caused food shortages, and created massive unemployment in rural areas.
Who was hurt worse by the dust bowl?
Farmers, it was a severe drought which they had to deal with, thus, they had to move to CA or other states/places not affected by it. Read "The Grapes of Wrath," by John Steinbeck.
