उत्तर
A drought causes a significant shortage of water due to low rainfall. Many individuals, the economy, and the environment suffer from it. Without rain, crops fail and soil loses fertility, causing food shortages and livestock losses. Rivers, lakes, and wells dry up, causing drinking water shortages. Farmers and water-dependent companies lose income, hurting the economy. People migrate for water and labor during droughts. Forest fires increase as vegetation and animals struggle. Thus, drought causes major agricultural, economic, and social problems.
