In this activity, students will develop a working definition of drought and do a hands-on demonstration to understand the role of soil moisture in drought. Students will also examine precipitation data and streamflow levels and use them to predict where drought is most severe in the United States. Students will check their predictions by comparing them to the U.S. monitors drought severity layer.
