Droughts occur when there is a prolonged period of below-average precipitation, leading to water shortages in soil, rivers, and reservoirs. In contrast, floods happen when there is excessive rainfall or rapid snowmelt that overwhelms the capacity of land and waterways to absorb or contain the water. Both phenomena can be influenced by climate patterns, such as El Niño and La Niña, as well as human activities like deforestation and urbanization. These events can have significant impacts on agriculture, ecosystems, and communities.
