IMPACTS OF THE HAZARD ON THE ENVIRONMENT, ECONOMY, AND PEOPLE.
Droughts have an impact on the environment, the economy, and people.
Impact on the environment;
Droughts can often cause wildfires, dust storms, pests such as locusts. Many animals die from lack of water, or become dehydrated.
Impact on the economy;
Bad effect on food production. When there isn't enough water for crops on a farm, there isn't enough food for the country, let alone enough for the countries the food was going to be exported to. A heavy loss is made. In addition to the crops, there wont be enough for livestock, and this would lead to even heavier losses.
Impact on the people;
People often have less water to use, have a limit of how much water they can consume, set by the government. People often get dehydrated if they live in a place where there is a drought.
