It is not really that is go anywere but that is do not arrive to begin with in the drought area..
The water cycle is a bit simplified water evaporation in the ocean, transported in clouds and the fall on land as snow and rain. The water then flow back to the ocean. Drough is most of the time a result of weather pattern that result in the rain not falling over a area over a extended period of time.
The water fill fall down on another location on land or directly on the ocean. Other land location can get so much precipitation that the result is flooding.
So drought is primary a result of reduced precipitation in a area.
