Selected drought events in Africa, 1981-1999, and livestock impacts
Hugo Ahlenius, UNEP/GRID-Arendal
Water scarcity in terms of drought or depleted groundwater
could therefore have great impacts on livestock and rangelands.
These interactions are also complex. While drought can
directly threaten livestock, other factors that influence water
availability for livestock are seasonal droughts and socio-economic
changes, such as permanent settlement and occupation
of seasonal pastures by people other than pastoralists, availability
and quality of rangelands, livestock numbers and management
