Drought
IMPACTS

  • Economic Impacts

    Drought is associated with losses in yields in both crop and livestock, insect infestations, plant disease, and wind erosion. Drought increases substantially the incidence of forest and range fires, which places human and wildlife populations at risk.

  • Environmental Impacts

    Drought produces damages to plant and animal species, wildlife habitat, and air and water quality. It leads to forest and range fires, degradation of landscape quality, loss of biodiversity, and soil erosion.

  • Social Impacts

    Social impacts of drought involve issues of public health and safety, conflicts between water users, reduced quality of life, and inequities in the distribution of disaster relief.
