有关干旱缺水的英语作文

Drought is the condition of critically low water supply caused by persistently below-normal precipitation. Drought causes diminished crop growth which in turn may lead to famine due to lack of water for irrigation. Drought also causes habitat damage, affecting both terrestrial and aquatic wildlife. It also leads to malnutrition, dehydration and related diseases. One common consequence of drought is wildfires, such as Australian bushfires. They are more common during times of drought.
