Cloud bursts are intense, localized, and short-duration rainfall events that can lead to flash flooding in desert regions. However, deserts are characterized by low vegetation cover and poor soil infiltration capacity, which means that the sudden influx of water from a cloudburst is unlikely to be effectively absorbed or stored. Instead, the water runs off quickly, leading to erosion and minimal recharge of groundwater reserves. Therefore, while cloudbursts may provide temporary relief from arid conditions, they do not significantly contribute to sustainable water resources in desert ecosystems.
