Drought Is Increasing Around The World

A new global study says drought has been increasing in many countries around the world in recent years. In addition to small droughts, large-scale droughts are increasing in the long term. This trend has been seen since the 1980s. The drought is intensifying due to ongoing climate change. Scientists at the Institute of Science and Technology in Austria have published new information by analyzing the scale of various droughts in the last 40 years. The impact of man-made climate change is visible behind these droughts.

Studies show that the situation in various drought-stricken areas has been deteriorating since 1980. Year after year, drought has spread to an additional 50,000 square kilometers in these areas. The expansion of the drought area has caused extensive damage to ecosystems, agriculture and energy production in different areas.

Scientist Francesca Pellisciotti said that since 1980, the area of drought-stricken areas has increased every year. On average, an additional 50,000 square kilometers have been dispersed. Chile is a prime example of a long-term drought. There is a fifteen-year large-scale drought. This drought can be said to be the longest in the last 1,000 years. Chile’s water reserves are almost destroyed. Severely affecting agriculture and important mining activities.
He analyzed global meteorological data from 1980 to 2018 to identify various droughts. Scientist Dirk Karger said drought is being seen in very remote areas. From 2010 to 2018, drought was seen in the Congo rainforest. A research paper on this has been published in the journal Science.
