The Big Dry, also known as the Millennium Drought, primarily affected southeastern Australia from 1997 to 2009. Key causes include climate variability, such as the El Niño phenomenon, which led to reduced rainfall, along with long-term changes in climate patterns due to global warming. Additionally, increased water demand from agriculture and urbanization exacerbated the effects of the drought. These combined factors resulted in severe water shortages and significant ecological and economic impacts.
