A drought is a period of time when an area experiences an abnormally low level of rainfall.

A drought is usually caused by drier than normal conditions which eventually leads to water availability problems. Hot temperatures can make a drought worse by an increased moisture evaporation from the soil.

The lack of adequate rainfall causes reduced soil moisture or groundwater, diminished stream flow, crop damage, and a general water shortage.
