Drought is when there is less precipitation in an area over a period of time and can lead to issues such as famine, increased spread of disease and a lack of drinkable water.
On the Atlas program, we look at natural disasters and research how we can work towards a deeper understanding of how human impact can make a more meaningful contribution to dealing with such issues.
