Question

Imagine you’re a farmer in the Middle East what are some natural dangers or natural disasters you would expect to face in a short paragraph describe two of these disasters and explain what you would do to prepare for them

Answer 1

Among the natural disasters or natural dangers that a farmer of the Middle East could face, the most common are:

Drought: One of the main problems in the Middle East is droughtiness. Water scarcity have always been a problem in this region and being a farmer in the middle of this situation could result in big problems when you grow your crops. A way to prevent this natural danger, would be by having enough water storage near the farm or crops and a better water management. It is highly important to check Drought monitors or Drought impacts to study where the farm could be less affected by this rough season.

Flooding: opposite to droughtiness, we could have the other face of the coin, that is tons of water that could negatively hit the crops. The pro during this season is that water can be storage in great amounts for the previous season, however, during this situation would be useful to count with channels that could spread the water and to invest in infrastructure that could save the crops from getting tons of water into them. And once again, check the recent studies of the previous weather reports.

If your eyes become irritated, rinse with water. Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly (eg. Vaseline) to the inside of your nostrils to prevent drying of your mucous membranes. Avoid going outside during dust storms, especially during high winds or low visibility when the dust levels are particularly harmful.

A drought is a period of below-average precipitation in a given region, resulting in prolonged shortages in its water supply, whether atmospheric, surface water or ground water.

 Check your well pump periodically. Plant native and/or drought-tolerant grasses, ground covers, shrubs, and trees. Install irrigation devices that are the most water efficient for each use, such as micro and drip irrigation, and soaker hoses. Use mulch to retain moisture in the soil.
