A drought is a long period of dry weather, when no rain falls for weeks, months or even years. It can be caused by not receiving rain or snow over a period of time. Deforestation for agriculture and / or building combined with the resultant erosion can also cause drought to begin.

no rain falls for weeks, months or even years. causes 1. It can be caused by not receiving rain or snow over a period of time. Water cycle and weather that changes in the wind patterns that move clouds and moisture through the atmosphere can cause a place to not receive its normal amount of rain or snow over a long period of time. 2. The same can also happen when winds shift air masses and warm, dry, continental air moves over an area as opposed to cooler, moist, oceanic air masses 3. deforestation for agriculture and/or building combined with the resultant erosion can also cause drought to begin because as soil is moved away from an area it is less able to absorb moisture when it falls 4. Improper irrigation system 5. Increase of number of bore well
Control 1. Better monitor and measure of water supply/uses nationwide 2. Reduce indoor water use through more efficient appliances, technologies, and behaviors 3. Reduce outdoor water efficiency through drought-tolerant landscape design and improved irrigation technologies 4. Increase recycling and reuse of water, including capturing and reusing storm water and wastewater 5. Make more strategic use of groundwater Sustainable development Sustainable mean-----management and conservation of natural resource base, and the orientation of technological and institutional change in such manner as to assure the attainment and continued satisfaction of human needs for the present and future generation. Sustainable development in Agriculture Forestry and fisheries Conserve land Water Plants and animal genetic resources Two concept for sustainable use 1. The basic needs of humanity-----for food, clothing, shelter and jobs----must be met 2. The limits to development are not absolute, but are imposed by present states of technology and social organization and by their impact on environment resources and on the biosphere ability to absorb the effect of human activities
Thing you can do 1. Walk or ride a bike/ public transport 2. Obey the speed limit------replace air filters 3. Report smoke vehicles 4. Keep you car tuned and support the smog check program-----electric cars 5. Look for the most efficient and lowest polluting model 6. Select product that are water based or have low amount of volatile organic compound 7. Turn off light--------type of lighting 8. Fan----instead of air conditioning 9. Choose recycled products----recycled packing 10. Reuse paper bag 11. Recycle paper, plastic and metals 12. Print or copy on both sides of paper 13. Avoid vigorous physical activity on a day with unhealthy air 14. Do not smoke-------------smoke outsides 15. Support action for healthy air Rural and agricultural sectors Maintain or improve the production of clean food Maintain or improve the quality of landscapes, which includes soils, water biota and aesthetics Have minimal impact on wide environment Be economical viable Be acceptable to society
