The document discusses drought conditions in the United States based on several maps and data sources. A 2000 US Drought Monitor map shows severe drought in red areas of the southern US. A 2013 map shows drought has increased in intensity over 13 years. A world drought risk map indicates severe drought in parts of North America, South America, Africa, and Europe. A graph shows rainfall decreased drastically from 2007-2011 in some areas, contributing to drought conditions. The conclusion is that drought occurs in hot, dry areas and can cause problems like wildfires, with droughts expected to continue or worsen over time.
