Droughts lead to severe water shortages, affecting agriculture by reducing crop yields and livestock health, which can result in food scarcity and increased prices. Ecosystems suffer, as plants and animals may struggle to survive, leading to loss of biodiversity. Additionally, droughts can exacerbate economic challenges and contribute to social unrest, as communities compete for dwindling resources. Water quality may also decline due to higher concentrations of pollutants and increased evaporation rates.
