Drought is one of the most devastating natural disasters, silently eroding agricultural productivity, threatening food security, and destabilizing rural economies. Unlike sudden calamities such as floods or earthquakes, droughts creep in slowly, leaving behind long-lasting ecological, economic, and social scars. With climate change intensifying their frequency and severity, there is an urgent need for sustainable solutions to manage and mitigate their impact.
Covering topics such as drought monitoring, forecasting, vulnerability assessments, adaptation strategies, and community-based management, the book highlights modern technological approaches alongside traditional wisdom. It examines land use practices, water conservation measures, and climate-resilient agricultural systems that can help societies adapt and thrive in drought-prone environments.
Designed for students, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners, this book serves as both a scholarly reference and a practical guide. Whether you are an academic seeking in-depth knowledge, a policymaker framing drought mitigation strategies, or a development professional working at the grassroots level, this resource will equip you with the tools and perspectives necessary to address drought in a sustainable manner.
Timely, informative, and solution-oriented, this book is an essential companion for anyone committed to building resilience against drought and safeguarding the future of food and water security.
