"Although Canadian droughts have been measured and described in detail over the years, there are many questions to be answered. The increased number of droughts in Canada over the past decade has led to greater interest in learning how to adapt to this climatic extreme. However, progress in drought monitoring and prediction has been hindered by a lack of standard definitions and data on this complex phenomenon. There is not even a universal definition of drought for Canada. This publication was produced to help clarify misconceptions about drought. The various types of drought are defined and the characteristics and causes of drought are discussed. Trends in drought monitoring and prediction in Canada are examined. Sources of information on drought are provided through a contacts list and a detailed list of available publications on this topic"--Abstract.
