Drought poses a significant threat to rain-fed farming areas where irrigation is not available, as crops depend solely on rainfall for moisture and can suffer from stunted growth, reduced yields, or even crop failure during drought conditions.

Drought in rain-fed farming areas diminishes soil moisture crucial for crop growth, stunting plant development and reducing yields. Lower rainfall leads to water scarcity, hindering agricultural production and risking crop failure. Farmers face financial losses, food shortages, and increased vulnerability to economic instability, exacerbating food insecurity in affected regions.
