When a region receives below average rainfall or precipitation of moisture we call it a drought. Droughts can last months or sometimes even years. What can we do at the individual level to contribute to the ecosystem. First of all, reduce consumption of water for cooking, bathing, in the toilet, gardening, replace dripping faucets, if possible keep water for reuse, install aerators in your faucets and showers, install appliances that are more water efficient, install the latest toilets that use less amount of water, don’t use the disposal variety of sink and instead dispose of your waste food into the garbage or compost, plant drought tolerant grass and of course go for water harvesters in a big way.
