Drought
Causes
Deforestation
Plants release moisture into the air, creating clouds and rainfall. Less plants = messes with the water cycle of the area and less rain
-
Soil Degradation
Poor agricultural practices = lesser soil quality = lower ability to absorb & hold water = soil dries faster & groundwater not replenished
Climate Change
rising temp. = wet regions = wetter & dry regions = drier. Alters large scale circulation patterns = weather extremes becoming more extreme
-
Opportunities
-
-
-
Appreciation increases for rivers, lakes, aquifers, etc.
