Answer 1) :  Drought in any area is a condition where in a period of below-average precipitation in t he given region, results in prolonged shortages in the water supply, whether atmospheric, surface water or ground water.

If this persists there will be harmful prolonged effects seen in the region.

There are several other drastic effects of droughts and water shortages, which can be further divided into three groups: tourism, economic and society.

Answer 2) Economy - Economic losses include lower agricultural, forests, game and fishing output, higher food-production costs, lower energy-production levels in hydro plants, losses caused by depleted water tourism and transport revenue, problems with water supply for the energy sector and for technological processes in metallurgy, mining, the chemical, paper, wood, foodstuff industries etc., disruption of water supplies for municipal economies.

Answer 3) Society - Society which can be also called as social costs include the negative effect on the health of people directly exposed to this phenomenon (excessive heat waves), possible limitation of water supplies, increased pollution levels, high food-costs, stress caused by failed harvests, etc. This explains why droughts and fresh water shortages operate as a factor which increases the gap between developed and developing countries.

Answer 4) Tourism -  In the case of tourism the environmental effects are majorly considered which are lower surface and subterranean water-levels, lower flow-levels (with a decrease below the minimum leading to direct danger for amphibian life), increased pollution of surface water, the drying out of wetlands, more and larger fires, higher deflation intensity, loss of biodiversity, worse health of trees and the appearance of pests and dendroid diseases.  Which results in loss of habitat and decreases the grasslands which eventually impacts the tourists in number. The number of tourists gets decreased with increase in the drought region.
