The 82 pages that link to Drought, each with the reason it gives.

• PrecipitationCompared with: A precipitation deficit is a common cause and indicator of drought.

• FloodCompared with: Drought is the opposite water extreme, marked by scarcity rather than inundation.

• OvergrazingCompared with: Drought can reduce pasture growth independently, though it often makes overgrazing damage more severe.

• FamineCompared with: Drought can contribute to famine, but it does not inevitably cause one.

• Land degradationCompared with: Drought is a climatic hazard; it can contribute to degradation but may be temporary.

• Heat waveCompared with: Drought concerns water deficits; a heat wave concerns unusually high temperatures, though they can reinforce each other.

• WaterloggingCompared with: Drought limits plant water supply, while waterlogging deprives roots of air.

• Aridity indexCompared with: Aridity describes persistent climatic dryness, while drought is a departure from local norms.

• AridificationCompared with: Drought is a temporary anomaly; aridification is a long-term shift.

• StreamflowCompared with: Low streamflow is a key hydrologic expression of drought.

• Dry seasonCompared with: A regular dry season is part of the climate cycle; drought is an abnormal deficit.

• Wet seasonCompared with: A dry-season shortfall can persist into the rains when onset is delayed or rainfall fails.

• Jubba RiverCompared with: Drought sharply reduces river flows and the water available to Jubba communities.
