Drought. 2. a fault on any part of the premises belonging to the participant.
Drought. Droughts are a periodic phenomenon in the arid environments of Arizona almost certain to occur over the life of the Agreement. During drought, the Department and Cooperators will monitor topminnow and pupfish population sites and habitat conditions in the covered area according to the needs of the situation and will implement corrective measures on a case-by-case basis. Responses to actual or potential drought conditions will include, as necessary and appropriate:
Drought. A condition of abnormal water scarcity in a specific area resulting from natural conditions. DROUGHT ALERT The declared condition provided for in Article XIX. DROUGHT EMERGENCY The declared emergency provided for in Article XIX DROUGHT MANAGEMENT PLAN The plan provided for pursuant to Article XIX EASTERN AQUIFER BASIN (EAB) Transboundary Aquifer (but not shared with Israel), located and recharged almost entirely in the West Bank, with the feeding and storage area spread over 2,200 km2 mostly in the West Bank. A small part of recharge is located west of the Green Line, including West Jerusalem. The Oslo II Agreement estimated the recharge of the EAB at 172 mcm/yr. This aquifer feeds the lower Jordan River and it is therefore considered to be the Palestinian contribution to the waters of the Jordan River Basin.
Drought. Droughts are a periodic phenomenon in the arid environments of Arizona and are almost certain to occur over the life of the Agreement. During drought, the Department (and other cooperators) and Participating Landowners will monitor Chiricahua leopard frog population sites and habitat conditions in the covered area according to the needs of the situation and will implement corrective measures on a case- by-case basis. Responses to actual or potential drought conditions will include, as necessary and appropriate: (i) improvements in water reliability at selected sites through water-hauling, well-drilling, well deepening, and other means as described in Section 2.6;
Drought. The budget makes available $10.8 million from the General Fund and $50 million from the California Emergency Relief Fund for investments that support drought and water resilience. Notably, the proposal does not include funding in the budget year for general dam safety and flood infrastructure, as proposed by a coalition of water and local government advocates, including CSAC. The budget proposes $100 million in 2023-24 and 2024-25 for a new dam safety program with details to be determined in future legislation.
Drought. The prolonged period of drought from November 2004 to January 2007 led to falling groundwater, affecting 13m people across Southern England (including London), with water consumption having to be reduced by 8 per cent (LCCP, 2009). The 2006 summer heatwave was especially severe and led to hosepipe bans across London (City of London, 2010). London suffered the worst drought in 70 years due to the very low levels of rainfall. This affected both individuals and businesses. IT businesses and data centres were affected during July 2006 as power supply was interrupting the cooling systems. Local authorities were forced to turn off non-essential servers and media firms suffered from air conditioning failure. The Horticultural Trades Association estimated that the drought cost its members up to GBP 300m (EUR 337m) in lost sales. The prolonged drought during this period led to conditions which sparked fires in the Southeast of England. Fires led to traffic delays as smoke was blown across major roads. Subsidence remains a major risk in parts of London. The alternation between wetting of clays during the winter time and the drying of the clay during the summer can cause additional ground movements which result in damage to buildings, roads, underground pipes and cables. The 2003 heatwave caused GBP 400m (EUR 448.9m) in subsidence claims across the UK.
Drought. Between August 1988 and November 1990 the Basque region experienced one of the most significant droughts (Ministerio de Medio Ambiente, 2007). The restrictions implemented during this drought affected more than 1,200,000 inhabitants and an important part of the industrial sector in Bilbao and Victoria (Ministerio de Medio Ambiente, 2007). During the drought the municipality undertook a set of actions which achieved a saving of 27hm3 of water, which equates to approximately 8% of the total consumption during the 14 months of water restrictions (Ministerio de Medio Ambiente, 2007).
Drought. Predicted decreases in precipitation rates in winter and spring may cause more droughts and increase vulnerability to water scarcity (De Sherbinin et al., 2007). Rio sources the majority of its water from the Paraiba River basin in Minas Gerais, which if affected, could lead to threats to water security in the city. A large proportion of Brazil’s electricity is generated by hydroelectric plants. In 2001, a drought led to severe shortages in electricity across the country. Consumers had to cut electricity consumption by 20-25 percent.
Drought. Droughts are a periodic phenomenon in the arid environments of Arizona and are almost certain to occur over the life of the Agreement. During drought, the Malpai (and other cooperators) and Participating Landowners will monitor leopard frog population sites and habitat conditions in the covered area according to the needs of the situation and will implement corrective measures on a case-by-case basis. Responses to actual or potential drought conditions will include, as necessary and appropriate: 1) improvements in water reliability at selected sites through water-hauling, well-drilling, deepening, and other means as described in section 2.5.5, paragraphs (E), (F), and (G); 2) salvage and relocation of leopard frogs from desiccated sites to other sites or temporary holding facilities; 3) re-establishment of extirpated populations when drought conditions cease, as described in paragraph (D) below; and 4) other measures as appropriate.
