What is a drought (干旱) A drought is a long period of time when there is little or no rain. It can last for weeks, months, or even years. Droughts are one of the most dangerous natural disasters because they affect large areas and can last a long time.
When a drought happens, rivers and lakes dry up. Crops cannot grow without water. Farmers lose their harvest, and food becomes more expensive. Animals suffer too. They may not find enough water to drink or grass to eat.
Droughts can also cause other problems. Without water, the ground becomes very dry. This can lead to dust storms. Dry conditions also make wildfires more likely to start and spread quickly.
What causes droughts Sometimes droughts happen because of changes in weather patterns. For example, El Ni o (厄尔尼诺现象) can cause some parts of the world to become much drier than normal. Climate change is also making droughts more common and more severe in many places.
What can we do to help Everyone can save water at home. Take shorter showers. Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth. Fix leaks (漏水) quickly. Collect rainwater for plants. These small actions can make a big difference when every drop counts.
