At last, integrated management of drought on farms is dealt

with in one comprehensive book. Although drought is a highly variable,

near-universal natural phenomenon which has repercussions on a

country's water and food supplies and many other sectors of the

economy, there are many ways of avoiding, resisting and mitigating the

effects of drought. Pro-active preparedness entails using the

principles of risk management to upgrade the drought resistance of a

farm systematically, and to have auxiliary contingency plans at the

ready for use during unusually long droughts. The book provides tools

for these strategies as it covers the management of water, soils,

crops, rangeland, fodder and livestock, and many other drought-related

topics.

Audience: This book will be an important source of information

for university and college staff and students in agricultural

sciences, water and land use, environmental management, geography and

risk management, and also farmers, agricultural advisors and policy

makers.
