Drought is a prolonged dry period in the natural climate cycle that can occur anywhere in the

shortage. Drought can have a serious impact on health, agriculture, economies, energy and the
environment.

Bangladesh has one of the largest populations in the world with over 164 million inhabitants (as of 2017). Due to Bangladesh’s relatively small land mass, its population density is also one of the highest in the world; with more than 1,200 inhabitants per square km, Bangladesh’s population density is more than 3 times that of India.
