A groundwater drought occurs when the amount of water stored in underground aquifers is significantly reduced due to prolonged periods of low precipitation or increased demand for water. This can lead to a depletion of groundwater resources, which can have serious consequences for agriculture, industry, and domestic water supplies. Groundwater droughts can also have long-term impacts on the environment, including the drying up of wetlands and the loss of habitat for aquatic species. To mitigate the effects of groundwater droughts, it is important to manage groundwater resources sustainably and to implement measures to reduce water demand and increase water efficiency.
