Abstract
Droughts impact water availability and quality, agriculture, energy production, ecosystem health, cultural resources, and wildfire risk. In an average year, nearly 15% of the US experiences significant drought, and in some recent years, drought conditions have impacted more than a third of the nation (U.S. Drought Monitor).
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs) deliver actionable science to help land and resource managers prepare for, reduce the risk of, and recover from drought.
