A long-term water shortage is a drought.
A drought is when an area goes for a long period of time without any rain. Once the drought has lasted long enough to reduce the resevoirs and the water aquifers (the water level in the ground), then it begins to affect the availablity of drinking water. Once this happens, there is a water shortage, affecting water availability in homes, businesses, and in agriculture. This water shortage continues as long as the drought lasts.
Drought
During a drought, the water table can drop significantly as there is less recharge from precipitation and higher demand for water resources. This can lead to wells running dry and drying up of surface water sources as the water table declines.
Drought means no water. No water means no crops. No water for you or other animals, which means you starve.
There were 48 states that were affected by the drought. A drought is not having water.
