Droughts and drought relief have been in the news recently, especially in Australia, but also in the United States and Bulgaria. Drought maps show the areas hardest hit in Australia and the U.S. In July when I wrote about droughts, I mentioned meteorological aspects and long-term water management issues, but did not discuss the DDC numbers for economic or social programs to deal with drought.
