The frequency and intensity of drought hazards in the horn of Africa are increasing from time to time along with its numerous and complicated negative impacts.
Weather variability and climate change are also inherent in deriving the changes coupling with anthropogenic factors.
The region is known as being one of the least developed in terms of economic, social, and technological advancements.
The region is also fast growing in terms of population.
Hello, One of the best adaptation strategies and drought mitigation measures are: adopting water management that aims to reduce the depletion of water resources, as well as adopting appropriate water harvesting methods, preserving water resources from various sources of pollution, avoiding excessive irrigation, and using modern irrigation methods , and irrigate agricultural crops according to their requirements.
Conservation of natural resources (forest, land, water..), reforestation, preventing wild fires, protecting overgrazing...may be helpful.
thanks!
The key is to understand how much drought is typically linked to water (over)use and (mis)management as to precipitation variations https://doi.org/10.1038/267192a0 and https://doi.org/10.1080/02508068508686328 Then, strategies can be implemented locally as long done for Bangladesh https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envdev.2018.11.004 and sub-Saharan Africa Article Indigenous responses to drought in Sub-Saharan Africa
among other places, including the Horn of Africa https://www.jstor.org/stable/43123620
Different strategies can be useful for this case; reduced deficit irrigation, improved water use efficiency, etc can be applied. Thefollowing article can help you.
Adapting the Green roofs in residential flats will be the best possible option to resist drought in Africa in near future. The proper selection of growing medium is inevitable in this regard for a successful green roof implementation based on African climate.
