Definition
Programs that monitor climactic conditions and water levels in lakes, rivers, aquifers, and reservoirs; and issue bulletins which warn farmers and community residents when there is inadequate precipitation and/or soil moisture to sustain crop and forage production. Drought conditions result in damage and economic loss to plant and animal agriculture; the appearance of drought-related toxins in water, forage and feed samples; heightened risk of fire; interruptions in the food and water supply; and higher prices for consumers.
