(Mt/Ag/EnSc/EnSt 404/504 - Global Change) Water Resources (from IPCC WG-2, Chapter 3) What is drought? One definition: One definition: Elements of the definition: Elements of the definition: deficiency of precipitation deficiency of precipitation extended period (how long is "extended"?) extended period (how long is "extended"?) water shortage for some user ("group or activity") water shortage for some user ("group or activity") A deficiency of precipitation over an extended period that causes water shortage for some group or activity.

(Mt/Ag/EnSc/EnSt 404/504 - Global Change) Water Resources (from IPCC WG-2, Chapter 3) Drought depends on the user Crops rely on stored soil water. Soil water can be rapidly depleted, so that monthly droughts may affect crops.

(Mt/Ag/EnSc/EnSt 404/504 - Global Change) Water Resources (from IPCC WG-2, Chapter 3) Drought depends on the user Rivers and streams may dry out during seasonal droughts.
