Drought is generally defined as an extended period of deficient rainfall relative to the statistical multi-year mean for a region while desertification is viewed as a regime occurring in drylands. Both droughts and desertification can be described as a cancer of the environment and humanity, hence they need to be visualised not in isolation but within the framework and context of climate change.
