Scores of definitions of drought exist, reflecting different applications and regions of con-cern. Common to all types of drought is the fact that they originate from a deficiency of precipitation that results in water shortage for some activity (e.g., plant growth, transpor-tation) or some group (e.g., farmer, water suppliers).

Public Health, 1978
Episodes of diarrhoea and vomiting were monitored at schools in two areas affected by water restrictions during the drought of 1976 and compared with records from schools in an adjacent unaffected area. Evidence was obtained of a possible association between restrictions in water supply and gastro-intestinal disturbances. It is suggested that outbreaks

Comprehensive coverage of understanding, prevention, and risk management of extreme drought events, with examples of approaches followed in water-stressed regions.This book describes the progress made in our understanding of severe drought and explains how we can deal with—and even avoid—complete devastation brought on by such punishing events.

Drought in groundwater—drought distribution and performance indicators
Journal of Hydrology, 2005In order to investigate how droughts are changed by the groundwater system and to analyse the performance of groundwater during drought, 10 time series of 1000 years of recharge and groundwater discharge were generated. The 10!1000 years of synthetic daily data were generated using Nearest Neighbour resampling based on 37 years of observed daily ...

Proteomic responses of drought-tolerant and drought-sensitive cotton varieties to drought stress
Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2016Drought, one of the most widespread factors reducing agricultural crop productivity, affects biological processes such as development, architecture, flowering and senescence. Although protein analysis techniques and genome sequencing have made facilitated the proteomic study of cotton, information on genetic differences associated with proteomic ...

Gender and Drought: Experiences of Australian Women in the Drought of the 1990s
Disasters, 2000A unique collaborative, sociological study undertaken during 1995–7, explored the social construction of drought as a disaster, with farm families in two Australian states: Queensland (beef producers) and New South Wales (sheep/wheat producers). A decision was made to interview the women and men separately to test our hypothesis that there would be ...

Drought and Dependence in the Sahel
International Journal of Health Services, 1978The relationship between human activity and environmental degradation has been documented in numerous studies. With regard to West Africa, E. P. Stebbing was already warning of ecological degradation due to overcultivation and overgrazing in the 1930s.
