It is defined on the basis of the degree of dryness, in comparison to a normal or average amount, and the duration of the dry period. Since the
result atmospheric conditions that result in deficiencies of precipitation are highly REGIONSPECIFIC.

A

METEOROLIGAL DROUGHT

17
Q

Links various characteristics of meteorological drought to
agricultural impacts, focusing on precipitation shortages, differences between actual and potential
evapotransportation, soil-water deficits, reduced groundwater or reservoir levels, and so on

A

AGRICULTURAL DROUGHT

18
Q

it refers to a persistently low discharge and/or volume of water in streams and reservoirs, lasting months or years.

A

HYDROLOGICAL DROUGHT

19
