My idea to mitigate droughts around the U.S. is, to have a shed- like building in everyone's backyard. The shed will contain large tanks filled with water that flows under the ground in pipes into the house. The dirty water gets drained back into the tanks, and it filters the grey and black water together, then it is distributed back into your house water. The waste, and sewer stuff gets drained through another pipe that goes all the way to the town sewer, where each houses waste gets combined.  Conserve the same water per each home in a town or city

A drought is when there is a lack of precipitation over an extended period of time, usually a season or more, resulting in a water shortage.  A drought is a period of 15 or more days with less than 0.2mm of rainfall.

Droughts are formed when rain-producing clouds fail to form, and there is little to no rainfall.

A Dry Spell is a long period of dry wether. A dry spell is defined as a period of 15 or more consecutive days with less than 1 mm of rainfall.

The Water filtering shed has gutters on it, so rain water can get caught and than flow down a pipe into the filtering system for extra water. When they suspect a drought, they can conserve there water better, and limit themselves so they have enough.

A drought sounds a lot more serious. A drought is a prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall leading to a shortage of water, which can be disastrous. A dry spell is a short period of low rainfall, usually not more than a month.

A dry spell generally means a period of dryness that has little or no effect on soil moisture or water levels, while a drought is defined as an extended period of below normal precipitation, which can result in adverse effects like drying of foliage and lowering of reservoir levels.

Now satellites are necessary for the provision of wide-area coverage. Impact assessment is carried out on the basis of land-use type, persistence of stressed conditions, demographics and existing infrastructure, intensity and areal extent,

The satellites response includes improved drought monitoring, better water and crop management, augmentation of water supplies with groundwater, increased public awareness and education, intensified watershed and local planning, reduction in water demand, and water conservation.

Many droughts can be predicted up to a month in advance, and in rare cases it may be possible to predict drought conditions more than a year in advance. However, the Earth's confusing climate makes drought forecasting very difficult.

Whether or not a drought will occur (and how long it will last) depends on a huge number of factors including atmospheric and ocean circulation, soil moisture, topography, land surface processes, and interactions between the air, land, and ocean.

Predicting the occurrence, severity, and time of droughts depends on our ability to model and predict these factors.

A lack of water in the hydrological system, manifesting itself in abnormally low streamflow in rivers and abnormally low levels in lakes, reservoirs, and groundwater.

a period of decreased groundwater levels that results in water-related problems. The amount of groundwater decline that would be considered a drought varies regionally and locally due to differences in groundwater conditions and groundwater needs for humans and the environment.

This type of drought all about the weather and occurs when there is a long period of below average precipitation.
