The Threat of Mega-Droughts in Australia
As reported on Science Alert, droughts in Australia could have devastating consequences, including the destruction of agriculture, water resource depletion, and ecosystem destruction.
Research shows that natural precipitation changes in Australia could lead to droughts lasting more than 20 years. With the impact of anthropogenic climate change, future droughts could be even more severe, especially in the southern parts of the country.
Researchers warn of possible mega-droughts that could last longer than any drought recorded in Australia since the beginning of observations.
