4. DROUGHT IN TEXAS & TIMELINE OF DROUGHT
• The main culprit of the intense 2011 dryness was a weather pattern
where the surface temperatures are cooler in the Pacific. This in turn
creates drier,warmerweatherinthesouthernU.S.
• A drought occurs when a region stays abnormally dry for a long
enough period to cause an imbalance in the water cycle
• 2011 was the driest year ever for Texas, with an average of only 14.8
inches of rain.
• The high summer temperatures increased evaporation, further
lowering riverandlakelevels.

5. PRE & POST SCENARIO OF DROUGHT (2011)
POST SCENARIO:
• Texas: $5.2 billion in agricultural losses throughJuly
• Livestock $2.1 billion, Crop losses $3.1 billion
• $13.1 billion in agricultural losses since 1998
• The Texas Water Plan is the state’s response to drought.
• As of June, 2014, 70 percent of Texas is stillindrought conditions, while 21 percent is in the worst two stages of drought, either
extreme or exceptional drought.
• EVEN TEXAS IS FORCED TO DRINK TREATED WASTE WATER. The cost of trucking in water to Groesbeck (population
6000) would cost over $60,000/day.
• Looking at the history, it’s clear that drought and extreme weather are nothing
new to Texas
•The first droughts are recorded in 1870

• On 1 November 1966, Haryana was

Haryana's "Hindi-speaking areas.
• With just 1.37 per cent of the total
geographical area and less than two

of distinction for itself

favorable monsoon for agricultural
production in the Country.
• HARYANA AGRICULTURAL
