Solution
If a particular place does not get enough rain for a long period of time, then there would be a scarcity of water. If water is not available, farming cannot be done. Crops will not grow. People might have to migrate in search of food and water. Cattle would also die due to a lack of food and water. This complete area will be under drought.
