More About Drought
Droughts can happen in many places. Some places get rain most of the time. But some places can be dry for a long time. This can hurt plants and animals.
When there is a drought, we have to save water. We can take short baths and turn off the tap. This helps us have enough water.
In the future, we can learn to save more water. We can plant trees that need less water. This can help us when it gets dry.
