On Jun 17th every year, we observe World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought.
It is observed to promote public awareness about desertification and how people across the globe are combating it.
When a village or district does not get sufficient rainfall over the years and the groundwater is also depleted, it leads to drought.
Drought is not confined to a particular country but it is a problem across the globe.
It is a natural disaster and numerous living beings die due to drought every year.
The causes of drought include irregular weather patterns, human intervention, deforestation, excess water consumption and more.
So, how to prevent drought? This must be the next question popping up in your mind.
Well, drought can be prevented by planting trees, storing and using rainwater, use of renewable resources, etc.
Spread this with your friends and pledge to save our planet from drought.
