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

• HydrosphereRelated: Persistent deficits in precipitation and stored water disrupt ecosystems and societies.

• Natural hazardBroader topic: Its slow onset can threaten crops, ecosystems, and water supplies over large areas.

• AestivationRelated: Drought removes water and food resources, often triggering aestivation.

• Extreme weatherBroader topic: Persistent precipitation deficits can damage crops, ecosystems, and water supplies.

• Russian famine of 1921–1922Narrower topic: Severe drought in 1921 devastated harvests across famine-stricken regions.

• Semi-arid climateRelated: Drought compounds the usual water stress when semi-arid rainfall falls below its variable norm.

• Temperate grasslandsRelated: Seasonal and multiyear droughts constrain grass growth and influence fire and grazing effects.

• African agricultureRelated: Rainfall deficits can reduce harvests, pasture, and water supplies at the same time.

• Freshwater lensRelated: Reduced rainfall limits recharge and can shrink the freshwater reserve on small islands.

• Lake UrmiaRelated: Repeated dry conditions have compounded the effects of water use in the basin.

• Tropical monsoon climateRelated: A delayed or weak wet season can leave monsoon-dependent areas short of water.

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

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

• WaterholeRelated: Drought reduces waterhole availability and intensifies competition around remaining pools.

• Natural disasterBroader topic: Drought develops gradually but can undermine food supplies, livelihoods, and ecosystems.

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

• QuokkaRelated: Drought limits forage and water in the quokka’s seasonally dry habitat.

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

• EcohydrologyRelated: Ecohydrology helps explain how drought alters vegetation and how ecosystems modify drought impacts.

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

• ShrublandRelated: Repeated drought can restrict tree cover and favor drought-tolerant shrubs.

• DrylandsRelated: Dryland rainfall variability can turn ordinary water scarcity into severe drought.

• Great Bengal famine of 1770Related: Rainfall failure triggered crop losses before the famine’s worst mortality.

• Northern pintailRelated: Dry conditions can shrink prairie wetlands used by breeding pintails.

• Acre-footRelated: Drought planning often compares reservoir deficits and water use in acre-feet.

• Deforestation and climate changeRelated: Forest loss can reduce moisture recycling, while climate-driven drought increases fire and tree mortality.

• Effects of Climate Change on AgricultureRelated: Changing precipitation and greater evaporative demand can intensify agricultural water deficits.

• Effects of climate change on human healthBroader topic: Drought can threaten drinking water, livelihoods, food production, and mental well-being.

• High-pressure areaRelated: Stalled highs can divert rain-bearing systems and prolong dry conditions.

• North Jiangsu Main Irrigation CanalRelated: Managed canal flows can help supply water during dry conditions.

• Santiago del Estero ProvinceRelated: Recurring water shortages constrain farming and livelihoods across the province.

• SubtropicsRelated: Persistent subtropical high pressure can contribute to severe and recurring drought.
