This will make a situation where less than expected water is to be used for necessary purposes. Therefore a Drought situation can arise. This is also closely tied to the water cycle as it is the main feature through which we receive water. If that is not normal or disruptive Drought conditions will prevail.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Humans also play a major role in the causes of Drought. One of these actions if deforestation or the destroying of forests. As forests are key for water conservation deforestation makes water retention very hard and make water scarce. Another factor that contributes towards Drought if global warming. This is made possible by the actions of burning more fuel and release of gases called greenhouse gases which are harmful to the atmosphere. Through these the temperature of the earth will increase making it disrupt the natural environment and this causes Drought conditions.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-34e18fe elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-section elementor-top-section\" data-id=\"34e18fe\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ae4346 elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column\" data-id=\"2ae4346\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap  elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-52788ea elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"52788ea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"droughtmaldives\" class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df31b98 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"df31b98\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\"><h2><span style=\"color: #0068ac;\"><strong>Drought in Maldives<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"910\" class=\"wp-image-917\" src=\"https:\/\/maldives.lareef.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mv-spi-map-1024x910.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stem.climate.mv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mv-spi-map-1024x910.png 1024w, https:\/\/stem.climate.mv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mv-spi-map-300x267.png 300w, https:\/\/stem.climate.mv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mv-spi-map-768x683.png 768w, https:\/\/stem.climate.mv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mv-spi-map.png 1689w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<figcaption><span style=\"color: #000000;\">SPI of Maldives For April-June 2019.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Intensity of brown colour indicates the strength of drought.
