DROUGHT IN TEXAS & TIMELINE OF DROUGHT

• The main culprit of the intense 2011 dryness was  a weather pattern where the surface temperatures are cooler in the Pacific. This in turn creates drier, warmer weather in the southern U.S.

• A drought occurs when a region stays abnormally dry for a long enough period to cause an imbalance in the water cycle

• 2011 was the driest year ever for Texas, with an average of only 14.8 inches of rain.

• The high summer temperatures increased evaporation, further lowering river and lake levels.

PRE & POST SCENARIO OF DROUGHT (2011)

POST SCENARIO:• Texas: $5.2 billion in agricultural losses through July

• Livestock $2.1 billion, Crop losses $3.1 billion

• $13.1 billion in agricultural losses since 1998

• The Texas Water Plan is the state’s response to drought.

• As of June, 2014, 70 percent of Texas is still in drought conditions, while 21 percent is in the worst two stages of drought, either extreme or exceptional drought.

• EVEN TEXAS IS FORCED TO DRINK TREATED WASTE WATER. The cost of trucking in water to Groesbeck (population 6000) would cost over $60,000/day.

• Looking at the history, it’s clear that drought and extreme weather are nothing new to Texas•The first droughts are recorded in 1870

CHAUDHARY CHARAN SINGH HARYANA AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY.

• agricultural and manufacturing industry has experienced sustained growth since the 1970S

• The year after 1989 witnessed a very favorable monsoon for agricultural production in the Country.

• HARYANA AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ,WHICH IS THE BIGGEST UNIVERSITY IN ASIA

THERE WAS PLANTATION OF TREES AFTER DROUGHT IN HARYANA Haryana is also one of the most economically developed regions in South Asia and its.
