Abstract: Drought is an insidious climate hazard. It has devastating impacts on rainfed agriculture: loss in yield threatens food security, affects farmers, and have serious socio-economic ramifications. Their multifaceted impacts on agriculture, crop yield, food production, and the economy are often irreversible. The frequency and severity of drought events are increasing as the climate changes. Therefore, a better understanding of their effects is needed to mitigate their impacts on water and food security.
