Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognizing drought as a characteristic feature of the North American climate, the contributors to this volume seek to organize available evidence of both prehistoric and modern drought events and to provide information on the severity of droughts, especially those which have occurred since weather records have been kept. The impacts of modern-era droughts on production and the potential impact of future droughts on the productivity of North American agriculture are examined. The authors explore the effeats of past droughts on the social, cultural, and political life of the population; the possible effects of drought on today's energy- and techno logy-intensive society; and the ramifications of drought for the national economy. The social and political strategies that local, state, and federal governments may use to meliorate the effects of drought are also considered, as are some possible technological defenses against drought—weather modification, expanded irrigation, new techniques of water harvesting and storage, and new agronomic adaptations. Finally, the critical question of whether future droughts can be forecast is examined.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drought is an insidious hazard of nature. It originates from a deficiency of precipitation that results in a water shortage for some activity or some group. Africa has suffered the most dramatic impacts from drought during the past several decades the recent droughts in the southern and eastern portions of the continent are testimony to that fact. However, the vulnerability of all nations to extended periods of water shortage has been underscored again and again during this same time period. In the past decade alone, droughts have occurred with considerable frequency and severity in most of the developed and developing world. Significant parts of North and South America, Australia, Europe, and Asia have been plagued recently by extended periods of severe drought, often resulting in far-reaching economic, social, and environmental consequences. In the western United States, for example, vast areas are facing the prospects of a sixth or seventh consecutive year of drought in 1993. Concern by members ofthe scientific and policy communities about the inability of governments to respond in an effective and timely manner to drought and its associated impacts exists worldwide. Numerous "calls for action" for improved drought planning and management have been issued by national governments, professional organizations, intergovernmental organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and others. The United Nations' International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (lDNDR) is yet another example of an international call for action to reduce the impacts that result from drought and other natural hazards.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southeastern Idaho is a water dependent region that relies on agriculture as a main source of commerce. Being a semi-arid environment, this area is snow pack dependent and highly sensitive to drought. Drought can cause major economic impacts on the region as well as the entire state. These extended periods of drought as well as late season water shortages due to early spring runoff, are potentially the result of climate change scenarios in the region. Due to these potential effects of climate change, farmers and individual water rights holders are at risk of in-season impacts of water shortages caused by climate change. An analysis of water indices and a formal assessment of water rights have been completed to analyze the spatial impacts of water shortage caused by climate change. This assessment will serve to illustrate which individual users and counties within the region have the highest risk of impact during periods of low water availability in future years. This assessment was done by using historic hydrologic data and water rights allocation data combined with GIS tools to create multiple maps representing risk of impact on individual surface and ground water users and impact on counties based on priority cutoff and mitigation orders. The results show increased impact under climate change scenarios and a clear pattern of cumulative impact on the area over multiple consecutive drought years. This assessment can be used as a tool to identify areas that are at high to low risk during multiple low water years, allowing water managers and state agencies to react to impacts on individual farmers or counties before they are injured. This could mitigate the economic impacts on individual users, the region and the entire state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The agricultural sector comprises an important part of the Idaho economy, with agriculture and food and beverage processing accounting for over 18% of total business sales (Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA), 2020). Conditions in the sector influence the lives of all Idahoans to at least some degree through provision of food that fuels daily activities. The goal of this report is to describe the economic risks and opportunities for the Idaho agricultural sector in the context of climate change. The report describes current conditions in the Idaho agricultural sector, observed changes in Idaho’s climate and trends in agricultural productivity over the past several decades, projected changes in Idaho’s climate and agricultural productivity for key subsectors, specific effects of the changing climate on key agricultural subsectors as identified in the peer-reviewed research literature, the important linkages between water availability and agricultural sector performance, and existing evidence of adaptation strategy adoption by Idaho farmers. Given the uncertainty regarding future conditions for the climate, environmental resource policy, agricultural markets, demographics, and general macroeconomic conditions, a numerical estimation of economy-wide variables was not calculated. However, the report provides stakeholders essential information that characterizes the linkages between climate and agricultural production and the risks and opportunities based on their location, current climate conditions, and projections for future climate and water availability. Additionally, many plausible adaptation strategies that Idaho farmers and ranchers may adopt in response to future changes in climate are provided. Such insights can be used by policymakers and stakeholders to consider potential impacts on their own institutions and businesses and plan appropriate responses. The interactions between adjustments in grower practices in the context of climate change, and especially the effects of such shifts on water availability, will be key to explaining the performance of the Idaho agricultural sector in the decades ahead.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drought is a natural hazard with potentially significant societal, economic, and environmental consequences. Public policy issues related to drought range from how to identify and measure drought to how best to prepare for, respond to, and mitigate drought impacts, and who should bear such costs. This report provides information relevant to drought policy discussions by describing the physical causes of drought, drought history in the United States, examples of regional drought conditions, and policy challenges related to drought. What is drought? Drought is commonly defined as a lack of precipitation over an extended period of time, usually a season or more, relative to some long-term average condition. While the technology and science to predict droughts have improved, regional predictions remain limited to a few months in advance. History suggests that severe and extended droughts are inevitable and part of natural climate cycles. What causes drought? The physical conditions causing drought in the United States are increasingly understood to be linked to sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the tropical Pacific Ocean. Studies indicate that cooler-than-average SSTs have been connected to the severe western drought in the first decade of the 21st century, severe droughts of the late 19th century, and precolonial North American “megadroughts.” The 2011 severe drought in Texas is thought to be linked to La Niña conditions in the Pacific Ocean. What is the future of drought in the United States? The prospect of extended droughts and more arid baseline conditions in parts of the United States could suggest new challenges to federal water projects, which were constructed largely on the basis of 20th century climate conditions. Some studies suggest that the American West may be transitioning to a more arid climate, possibly resulting from the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, raising concerns that the region may become more prone to extreme drought it was in the 20th century. Some models of future climate conditions also predict greater fluctuations in wet and dry years. California's 2007-2009 drought exacerbated ongoing tensions among competing water uses. While drought is most common in California and the Southwest, drought also can exacerbate water tensions in other regions. For example, the 2007-2008 drought in the Southeast heightened a long-standing dispute in the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River (ACF) basin. Both California and the ACF are again experiencing drought conditions, as are the Rio Grande and Upper Colorado River basins. What are some drought policy challenges? Although the impacts of drought can be significant nationally as well as regionally, comprehensive national drought policy does not exist. Developing such a policy would represent a significant challenge because of split federal and non-federal responsibilities, the existing patchwork of federal drought programs, and differences in regional conditions and risks. While a comprehensive national policy has not been enacted, Congress has considered and acted upon some of the recommendations issued by the National Drought Policy Commission in 2000. In coming years, Congress may review how federal agencies such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation respond to droughts. Congress may also assess other federal programs or choose to reassess the National Drought Policy Commission's recommendations.
