Global Drought and Sustainability provides a comprehensive examination of drought as a major global challenge, emphasizing its close connection to climate change and the urgent need for sustainable water management. The book is organized into four key sections: Climate Change and Drought Impacts, Water Resources and Management, Sustainable Agricultural and Environmental Solutions, and Drought and Ecosystem Resilience. Through its structured approach, the book explores critical topics such as the effects of climate change on arid regions, advanced techniques for drought forecasting, and essential strategies for water resource management.

In addition, the book highlights innovative applications of artificial intelligence in drought prediction, methods for enhancing ecosystem resilience, and both practical and technological solutions for mitigating drought’s effects on human health and water quality. By addressing the interplay between climate patterns, environmental sustainability, and water management, the book presents actionable insights and global case studies.

Covers the latest advancements in drought forecasting techniques, fundamental water management strategies, and sustainable agricultural practices, incorporating cutting-edge research on critical topics like AI-driven drought prediction and strategies for enhancing ecosystem resilience
Offers actionable insights and practical solutions for safeguarding water resources and building resilience in human and ecological systems amid the growing challenges of drought and climate change
Includes real-world case studies that illustrate successful drought management strategies and sustainable practices from various regions, providing practical examples and lessons learned
