Abstract

Drought is a normal part of the climate. Yet, because of its insidious nature, most droughts are unexpected and catch everyone unprepared. As water resources are stretched to their limit, the vulnerability of societies to drought increases. Thus, the key to reducing costs and losses caused by drought will come from preparedness and timely mitigation.
