Yes, due to the very low humidity, deserts experience more evaporation than precipitation.
Do deserts receive little raifall?
More generally, they receive little "precipitation" (this can then include cold deserts).
Why had farming become unprofitable?
The value of agricultural goods decreased as farmers yielded more crops during successful seasons. Because of the surplus, the prices went down and it became less profitable. Paired with the risks associated with drought and flood seasons, farming became less financially viable.

What are some flood prone areas in Australia?
The most drought-prone areas are the areas inland from the coast. Drought hits all areas of Australia (including the coast) but drought is more prevalent in inland Queensland, NSW, Victoria, Northern Territory and throughout South Australia and Western Australia. Even Tasmania can be subject to drought.
Where can you experience a flood?
Anywhere there is more rain/moisture than the ground can absorb easily. This is especially true in mountain areas, by rivers, on in deserts.
Are droughts and floods opposites?
It can be. But a drought is much less rain than usual, and it is possible to get much more rain than usual without triggering a flood. The opposite of a drought or 'dry spell' would be a 'wet spell' (such as a monsoon season).

Does a drought have weather geologic or human cause?
If a drought has a geographical cause, it is not called a drought but a desert. Natural deserts tend to occur in the rain shadows of mountains, far from oceans, or under Hadley Cells. With the exception of problems caused by volcanoes, the weather phenomena caused by geographical features usually remains constant. A drought is frequently caused by weather. An El Nino means the Pacific Ocean is warmer off the coast of Peru and the Indian Ocean is cooler off the coast of Africa. More water evaporates and turns to rain when the ocean is warmer. A La Nina means the opposite. Less water evaporates and turns to rain when the ocean is cooler. That creates a drought. In the Western United States, people have sold "water rights," which gives people downstream the rights to unimpeded stream flow. As a result many beaver dams were destroyed. With that destruction, a lot of land dried up. That caused conditions to become dryer. That created a man made drought. In Asia much of the land in the center of the empire of Timerlane suffered from over grazing. That created a drought. Thus, a drought can be caused due to either weather or human activity.
