No. A drought is an extended period of months or years when a region notes a deficiency in its water supply. Generally, this occurs when a region receives consistently below average rainfall. It can have a substantial impact on the ecosystem and agriculture of the affected region.

Although droughts can persist for several years, even a short, intense drought can cause significant damage and harm the local economy. This global phenomenon has a wide spread impact on agriculture.
