Drought planning refers to the process of anticipating, preparing for, and mitigating the impacts of drought on various sectors such as agriculture, water resources, and public health. It involves developing strategies and policies to manage water scarcity, reduce vulnerability, and increase resilience to prolonged periods of dry weather. Drought planning typically includes conducting risk assessments, implementing conservation measures, establishing early warning systems, and coordinating responses among stakeholders at the local, regional, and national levels. The goal of drought planning is to minimize the social, economic, and environmental disruptions caused by water shortages and ensure the sustainable management of water resources in the face of changing climate conditions.
