The economy would face many issues as well if the country ever faces a drought. Businesses that depend on farming may lose business when crops are damaged by the drought. Big markets that sell groceries would run out of groceries and they would have nowhere to get anymore in order to restock the shelves; resulting in many grocery stores closing down. Also, businesses and industries that manufacture farm equipment and resources would lose money; farmers would have no money to buy from them. Farmers would need to spend more money to irrigate the crops and provide water for the live stock on animal farms and ranches. They would have to spend money to drill new wells or buy water and tankers from far away places.

Many areas of the country can be negatively affected by the drought. Health would be threatened because dust would be entering the air people breathe. The environment would face horrible deaths in wildlife, and forest fires as a result of dry trees. Also, the economy would be affected; there would be more money spend on additional water supplies, etc. All of this can cause a huge decline in the country’s future; resulting in a threatened, and weakened country for generations to come.
