दुष्काळ म्हणजे पाण्याची व त्यायोगे अन्नस्रोतांची अनुपलब्धता किंवा तीव्र टंचाई असलेला, अनेक महिन्यांचा वा वर्षांचा दीर्घ कालखंड होय. दुष्काळ येण्यास वातावरणातील आकस्मिक बदल, वृक्षतोड किंवा ज्वालामुखींचे उद्रेक किंवा वणवे इत्यादी कारकांनी उद्भवलेले पर्यावरणीय जलचक्रातील दोष कारण असू शकतात. दुष्काळात अन्नपाण्याच्या अभावी माणसांसह बहुसंख्य सजीवांना प्राणसंकटास तोंड द्यावे लागते.जेथे दुष्काळ पडतो, त्या ठिकाणची उत्पादकता, वसणूक पुन्हा सावरणे खूप कठिण असते. तेथे जीवन पूर्ववत होण्यास,अनेक वर्षे लागू शकतात. २०१६ मध्ये लातूर महानगरपालिका असलेल्या शहरालासुद्धा आगगाडीने पाणी आणावे लागले
A drought is a period of drier-than-normal conditions. A drought can last for days, months or years. Drought often has large impacts on the ecosystems and agriculture of affected regions, and causes harm to the local economy. Annual dry seasons in the tropics significantly increase the chances of a drought developing, with subsequent increased wildfire risks. Heat waves can significantly worsen drought conditions by increasing evapotranspiration. This dries out forests and other vegetation, and increases the amount of fuel for wildfires.
