Droughts happen when there's not enough rain for a long time. Imagine your garden needs water every day to grow, but one day the tap stops working, and it stays that way for months. That’s like what happens in a drought. When plants don’t get enough water, they can't grow well, and people might have trouble getting food or drinking water.
Examples
- A garden without water for weeks becomes full of dry, brittle plants.
- A lake that used to be full dries up into a cracked bed.
- A farmer can't grow enough corn because the soil is too dry.
