What are the results of a drought?
Drought results in significant water shortages, leading to reduced agricultural productivity, crop failures, and livestock losses. It can also trigger economic challenges, including increased food prices and financial strain on farmers and communities. Additionally, prolonged drought can cause environmental damage, such as habitat degradation, soil erosion, and increased risk of wildfires. Water scarcity may also affect human health and access to clean drinking water.
What is the definition of a drought?
A drought is an extended period of months or years when a region notes a deficiency in its water supply. Droughts are harmful to people because without rain water, the crops in the fields suffer and the wells for drinking water are depleted. It is bad for the economy in general and for farmers in particular.
Further information:
Drought may be a result of the El Nino phenomenon, which brings dry conditions to some parts of the world for sometimes as long as several years at a time. It increase the likelihood of desertification.
Desertification and drought form a vicious circle as desertification increases drought-like conditions, and makes it increasingly difficult for the land to recover. Desertification may occur as a result of man's intervention in the environment, particularly activities such as deforestation and cutting down trees, over-grazing of stock animals, or farming unsuitable crops for a region (e.g. rice, which has to have large amounts of water pumped to it).
What is the effect on the natural environment of droughts in Australia?

What problems does a drought cause?
not enough water means no plants.
The plants need water to survive, just like we need water to survive.
a drought would cause crop failure, and if it's a long term drought, animals could die.
How does drought affect farmers?
A drought makes it harder to water crops, because of water that is lacking. Due to this water shortage crops and trees don't get water, which contains nutrients for development. Therefore, the crops will die off.
