Global drought is becoming an increasingly pressing issue, affecting the lives of millions of people around the world. This phenomenon is not only caused by natural factors, but is more triggered by human activities such as climate change and inefficient water resource management. Prolonged drought impacts the agricultural, health and economic sectors, presenting serious challenges for society and the government. The main causes of global drought include climate change which worsens weather patterns. Rising global temperatures are changing the rain cycle, causing some regions to experience drastically reduced rainfall. Data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) shows that more than 1.5 billion people live in drought-prone areas, highlighting the need for a sustainable approach to water management. One effective solution in dealing with drought is improving water management. Modern irrigation technology, such as drip irrigation, can reduce water waste and increase water use efficiency on agricultural land. In addition, building rainwater infrastructure is essential to store and distribute water during dry seasons. Utilizing smart agriculture technology can also help farmers optimize crop yields even in drought conditions. The technology includes sensors that monitor soil moisture and tell farmers when is the best time to water crops. This not only saves water, but also increases productivity. An integrated water resources management (IWRM) system is another approach that needs to be implemented. IWRM emphasizes the importance of collaboration between sectors and stakeholders, from government to local communities, to optimize the use of water resources. In this way, a balance can be achieved between current consumption needs and environmental protection for future generations. Public education is also an important part of managing drought. Awareness of the importance of wise water management can shape people’s behavior in using water resources. Activities such as water saving campaigns and training in sustainable agricultural techniques can be an effective first step. At the global level, cooperation between countries is needed to deal with droughts that can transcend regional borders. International agreements in the field of water, such as the UN Convention on Climate Change, should be encouraged so that countries are willing to share knowledge and resources. In conclusion, dealing with global drought requires a holistic approach involving technology, policy, education and international partnerships. With continued collective action, the hope of overcoming this drought challenge can be achieved, securing the future for future generations.
