How does drought affect MEDCs?

Coping with drought... long-term and short-term... link to the correct statements...

Learning routes

installing irrigation systems

What might happen to the following sectors?

Forecasting and monitoring e.g. monitoring temperatures over time, using satellites to spot early changes

less grazing land

not very sustainable

Carry water from surplus areas to deficit areas e.g. water from Wales re-directed to Birmingham

To do...

Fix uniforms

Equipment out

Ready to work

Complete the task when told

Improve water conservation and farming methods:

usually expensive

desertification

Describe the different ways in which MEDCs and LEDCs are affected by drought, and explain what they are able to do in response to reduce the impacts

Drip and sprinkle irrigation (hi-tech)

drought-resistant crops (low-tech)

food aid

e.g. construction of dams / pipelines

Tourism?

Agriculture?

Domestic water use?

Forests?

Relations with other countries?

temporary methods to overcome specific drought events

soil erosion

stone piles (low tech)

fewer crops

do not help with next drought event

Cloud seeding (hi-tech)

result in permanent water management methods

Any other method you find out about
