Water scarcity poses a threat to ecosystems and biodiversity, primarily through its impact on aquatic habitats, rivers, wetlands, and lakes. [3] Decreased water flows and the drying of water bodies disrupt the delicate balance of ecosystems, affecting a range of species including fish, amphibians, and water-dependent plants, experience habitat loss and fragmentation, affecting their ...
Improving yields in drought years will go a long way toward securing our food supply, and these companies are at the forefront of the technology that will accomplish that. Add them to My Watchlist ...
A drought is a period of drier-than-normal conditions. [1]: 1157 A drought can last for days, months or years.Drought often has large impacts on the ecosystems and agriculture of affected regions, and causes harm to the local economy.
Deficit irrigation (DI) is a watering strategy that can be applied by different types of irrigation application methods. The correct application of DI requires thorough understanding of the yield response to water (crop sensitivity to drought stress) and of the economic impact of reductions in harvest. [1]
The Farm Service Agency (FSA) offers relief for local drought-impacted livestock producers. Here all to know.
30% of household water use is from outdoor watering. This is how Texas homeowners can save money and conserve water.
The drought is largely driven by temperature, which increases the rate of evaporation, with some contribution from the lack of precipitation. The several wet years since 2000 were not sufficient to end the drought. Researchers calculated that without climate change-induced evaporation, the precipitation in 2005 would have broken the drought.
The effects of drought are "diverse and complex", but the state could see reduced agricultural production, decreased transportation on rivers, limits on city water supplies, struggles to maintain ...
