Overview

This series supports the study of issues and events of importance to the Australian community by looking at several issues that are newsworthy on both a local and global scale. What is the impact of these issues on the everyday life of Australians? What are the differing viewpoints and debates surrounding these issues? Features of each book include profiles of significant people and organisations, quotations, timelines, flow charts and tables. Drought is an issue that affects more than 100 countries, including Australia. As the Earth's atmosphere heats up because of global warming, the effects of drought are becoming more severe. Read about the serious implications of drought for millions of people, and what scientists and governments are doing to predict and mitigate its worst effects. Learn also about 'El Nino', which is a phenomenon now known to cause droughts in the Southern Hemisphere.
