221858569City of PodgoricaMontenegro0Public2017DroughtSeriousAgricultural production is highly vulnerable under conditions of all extreme weather events. Hail and drought result in decreasing crop and change in growth cycle.Extreme drought periods can cause a lower level of groundwater recharge, increased evaporation and low water flow, which leads to a decrease of water resources. Droughts can cause limitations in the availability of drinking water. The water level in the rivers will be reaches the minimum. Smaller streams will dry up. Such conditions favor the spread of algae and bacteria, which can lead to a reduction in water quality.Due to the prolonged drought periods and heat waves year round, the increase in the level of smog is possible as well as a lower air quality.Drought periods can lead to increased damage and dying of trees. Also, changes in the growth cycle are possible as well as the reduction in the number of species, loss of species susceptible to drought. The risk of forest fires is also increased.Damage to biodiversity is possible, especially a drying of vegetation that is less resistant to high temperatures and has a greater need for water.Food and agricultureOther: WaterOther: Environment
