Regions, experiencing less water moisture than normal, cover quite a wide area. The world map to the right (with blue background) from the [[File:DroughtMap.jpg|Global Risk Data Platform]] shows the regions with droughts recorded between 1979 and 2008, where drought events are identified as three consecutive months with less than 50% of precipitation as compared with the average.
