What is a drought? When it rains, does that mean the drought is over?
In: 32
a drought means that less water falls to sustain life over the year.
It effects the natural vegetation, animal life and even fish in the ocean.
A single rain is welcome but it doesn’t catch the ecosystem up with where it should be. AND with a serious dry spell, much of that water is likely to just run off and not get absorbed into the ground.
(if you let a container plant get toooo dry, the soil will pull away from the pot so when you do water it, most of it runs down the gap on the sides and out the bottom, you have to put the pot in a tub and let it soak up from the bottom till it loosens and swells again)
