Plants, animals, fungi, slime moulds, protozoa, and algae are all eukaryotic. 1  These cells are about fifteen times wider than a typical prokaryote and can be as much as a thousand times greater in volume.
A drought is a period of below-average precipitation in a given region, resulting in prolonged shortages in its waters supply, whether atmospheric, surface or ground water.
What is Drought? Drought is an insidious hazard of nature. It is often referred to as a creeping phenomenon and its impacts vary from region to region. Drought can therefore be difficult for people to understand. It is equally difficult to define, because what may be considered a drought in, say, Bali (six days without rain) would certainly not be considered a drought in Libya (annual rainfall less than 180 mm).
