Nowadays in the newspaper there are reports about green drought.
The term drought refers to unavailability of drinking water for both animals and plants.
But what is this green drought ??
The term is being used because in some regions, there has been enough rainfall for some shallow rooted vegetation to grow.
In farmer regions, the fields look green. But this green colour comes from the weeds and other undesirable plants.
In a green drought, none of the fallen rain water, penetrates into deeper parts of the soil profile.
There is not enough rain to saturate the soil.
The same situation is now in our state, Karnataka.
