Explanation:
Drought refers to a period characterized by little or no rainfall in a geographical location over a specific period of time. When there's a drought, the production of agricultural products will be very much affected, thereby causing a decrease in the quantity of farm products.
On the other hand, a good weather would cause an increase in the quantity of farm products and as a result of this, the supply curve would shift rightward because there's enough product to meet the customer's demands or needs.
This ultimately implies that, droughts generally causes a decrease or fall in the supply of agricultural products due to a shortage in rainfall.
Constructing dams and building desalination plants can help reduce the effects of droughts because this would serve as an artificial source of water to provide the amount of water needed in farms and at the appropriate pH (concentration of hydrogen ions).
