A protracted absence of precipitation results in drought, a type of natural calamity. Drought is caused by a number of variables, including changes in weather patterns brought about by climate change. Because they lower groundwater levels, deforestation and excessive use of water resources exacerbate drought. Drought conditions can also be made worse by human activities like manufacturing and agriculture. Effective drought mitigation and water conservation initiatives depend on an understanding of these causes.
