Drought, a prolonged and abnormal deficiency of precipitation, poses substantial challenges to ecosystems, agriculture, and communities, with far-reaching socio-economic and environmental impacts. Drought mitigation strategies encompass a diverse range of approaches, including nature-based solutions, technological interventions, and community engagement. Nature-based solutions involve harnessing the inherent capacities of ecosystems, such as agroforestry, wetland restoration, adopting best agricultural management practices, to enhance water retention and resilience. This chapter provides an overview of the phenomenon of drought and outlines the major nature-based solutions for its mitigation.
