What are the elements at risk during drought?

During a drought, several elements are at risk, including water supply, which can lead to shortages for drinking, irrigation, and industrial use. Agriculture suffers due to reduced crop yields and livestock health, impacting food security and economies. Ecosystems also face threats as vegetation dies off and wildlife struggles to find adequate resources. Additionally, socioeconomic factors, such as increased competition for dwindling resources and potential conflicts, may arise in affected communities.
