Abstract
Drought can occur anywhere in the world, and it is considered a transient environmental hazard except in arid geographical regions that historically receive very limited amounts of rainfall. Drought is a natural phenomenon in which levels of rainfall or other types of precipitation are lower than average for an extended period of time, resulting in inadequate water supply. Understanding drought and its impact on people and the environment, however, must take into account differences in geographic regions, local demand for water, and other variables, such as a community’s ability to adapt to water shortages and state/local policies that regulate water supply. Climate change is projected to have impacts on increased temperature as well as frequent and intense rainfalls in India. Integrated green infrastructure planning with both structural and non-structural water resources management practices has emerged as a critical climate change adaptation strategy. Drought is unlike other natural emergencies such as hurricanes, floods, or earthquakes; drought-related conditions can take years to escalate to the point at which water supply becomes severely limited, and the length of time that drought conditions may persist and impact societies is unknown. This paper is based on secondary data and the present paper is an endeavor to highlight the Way of Natural Resources Supports Indian Drought Mitigation.
