Drought response is a research area that focuses on understanding how ecosystems, communities, and individuals respond to periods of water scarcity. This research examines the impacts of drought on various sectors such as agriculture, water resources, and ecosystems, as well as how different stakeholders can mitigate and adapt to drought conditions. Strategies for drought response include water conservation, drought-resistant crop varieties, policies and regulations, and community preparedness and resilience measures. Overall, research in this area aims to improve our understanding of drought impacts and response strategies to build more sustainable and resilient societies in the face of ongoing climate change.
