The impacts are invisible and are often reflected as a complex socio-economic phenomenon. Due to changes in the climatic conditions droughts are increasingly occurring in non-traditional drought prone areas. The Asian monsoon region is one of these areas where consecutive years of droughts are causing severe problems for the lives and livelihoods of the communities. The impacts are becoming increasingly more visible, and drawing the attention of policy makers and professionals from national and international levels. In this context, this book outlines the characteristics and challenges of the Asian monsoon drought and highlights innovative solutions and approaches undertaken in different parts of the region. A ready-reference for field practitioners it combines academic research and field practices, and builds on actual implementation experiences of drought risk reduction. Providing a thorough examination of the subject and region, chapters cover droughts in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka. It concludes with an article on cross-cutting experiences and drought risk reduction in the Asian Monsoon Region. 410 0$aCommunity, environment and disaster risk management ;$vv. 8. 606 $aNature$xEnvironmental Conservation & Protection$2bisacsh 606 $aNature$xNatural Disasters$2bisacsh 606 $aNature$xWeather$2bisacsh 606 $aThe environment$2bicssc 606 $aDrought & water supply$2bicssc 606 $aDroughts$zAsia 606 $aDroughts$xEconomic aspects$zAsia 607 $aSouth Asia$2fast 607 $aSoutheast Asia$2fast 607 $aAsien$2gnd 615 7$aNature$xEnvironmental Conservation & Protection. 615 7$aNature$xNatural Disasters. 615 7$aNature$xWeather. 615 7$aThe environment. 615 7$aDrought & water supply. 615 0$aDroughts 615 0$aDroughts$xEconomic aspects 676 $a363.34929095 701 $aShaw$b Rajib$01474599 701 $aNguyên$b Huy$01584697 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789890103321 996 $aDroughts in Asian monsoon region$93868645 997 $aUNINA
