उत्तर
Droughts are caused when a region receives insufficient rainfall for a long period of time. Shortage of water in drought- prone areas leads to a fall in the water table, crop failure, shortage of food, fodder and employment. As people begin to starve, they migrate to other places and become homeless. It occurs almost every year bringing with them epidemics and causing human suffering.
