Global drought is becoming an increasingly pressing problem, affecting the environment, economy and public health. Statistically, more than 1.8 billion people in the world experience water shortages, and more than 2 billion live in areas exposed to the risk of drought. Research shows that climate change is a major factor exacerbating this situation. Rising global temperatures and unpredictable weather patterns have resulted in the emergence of drought in areas that were not previously drought zones. One of the significant impacts of drought is a food crisis. Arid agricultural land has the potential to reduce global food production, resulting in price spikes and food insecurity for millions of people. Therefore, efficient irrigation technologies and sustainable agricultural practices are important to optimize water use. Utilizing advanced irrigation systems, such as drip irrigation, helps reduce water waste while increasing agricultural yields. Another solution to consider is wastewater treatment. The use of technology to recycle wastewater into clean water for use in agriculture and households can reduce dependence on limited freshwater sources. There are several countries, such as Singapore, that have successfully implemented advanced water treatment systems to address this challenge. Public education regarding the importance of water conservation is also very crucial. Campaigns aimed at raising awareness of responsible water consumption can change the behavior of individuals and communities. Apart from that, the government also needs to implement policies related to efficient management of water resources, including regulations related to the use of water supplies for industry and agriculture. Structural changes in investment policy are also needed. Initiatives to fund infrastructure projects, such as well-managed dams and efficient water storage systems, can add to drought resilience. In addition, adaptation measures such as reforestation and restoration of natural ecosystems can restore ecological balance and increase resilience in the face of extreme weather changes. The role of technology cannot be ignored in overcoming global drought. Innovations in weather monitoring technology, data-based water management, and the development of drought-resistant plant varieties can strengthen food security and meet water needs. Blockchain can be used to increase transparency in the distribution of water resources, prevent misuse, and promote fair use. All three key sectors—government, industry, and society—must work together to develop sustainable strategies. Policies oriented towards mitigating the impacts of climate change must be a priority, emphasizing the importance of international collaboration to share resources and knowledge. Global drought is not only a challenge, but also a call to act, innovate and adapt for a better sustainable future. Implementing sustainable and inclusive solutions can help prevent more severe water and food crises, and create a healthier environment for future generations.
