How to define drought?

Drought is a prolonged dry period in the natural climate cycle that can occur anywhere in the world. It is a slow-onset disaster characterized by the lack of precipitation, resulting in a water shortage.

How much rain is considered a drought?

At the simplest level, drought occurs when water loss in an area exceeds water inflow in an area. Even this definition is flawed, however, since drought status changes based on the size of the area assayed. That is, a droughted area may lie unconnected to but within eyesight of an area with adequate water supplies.

What is the simple definition of drought?

American Meteorological Society: A period of abnormally dry weather sufficiently long enough to cause a serious hydrological imbalance. NOAAs National Weather Service: A deficiency of moisture that results in adverse impacts on people, animals, or vegetation over a sizeable area.

What is the precipitation deficit?

Precipitation Deficit One of the simplest tools and easiest to understand, the precipitation deficit simply tells you how far behind normal the precipitation that has fallen is. The longer a drought lasts and more severe it is, the greater the precipitation deficit.
