This paper develops a cooperative game theory framework in order to analyze water management policies that could address scarcity and drought in a typical arid and semiarid basin in Southeastern Spain.
However, for a better understanding of gene expression in response to three abiotic stresses (cold, salt and drought) in a time course basis (0 h, 30 min, 1 h, 4 h, 8 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h) we again selected two inbred lines of B. rapa, Chiifu and Kenshin.
According to a World Bank study (pdf), climate change will likely increase the frequency of both flooding and droughts in Ethiopia, posing a significant challenge to agriculture, infrastructure, and hydropower generation.
But urban growth, particularly here in Atlanta, and droughts in the last two decades have precipitated a battle among three states that experts are calling one of the biggest water wars in the United States in the last 30 years.
Factors behind the price spikes include the diversion of crops to make biofuel, rising energy prices, growing prosperity in India and China, and droughts in some regions — including Australia, a major grain producer.
Due to years of conflict and drought in Sudan, an estimated 2 million displaced people are living in camps similar to El Fateh.

Griffin has been doing research on tree rings, moisture and drought in California for a decade.
Results of this study may help to understand the causes underlying spatiotemporal patterns of seasonal precipitation and can help in developing measures for the mitigation of floods and droughts hazards in a changing climate.
The World Bank's latest climate report predicts what seems like epochal change: unprecedented heat-waves, severe food shortages, intense misery from cyclones, floods and droughts - in a world where temperature increase over pre-industrial level is up to 4 degrees Celsius.
This year, by contrast, with the intense heat and drought in the Western regions, a larger number of relatively small fires are burning in densely occupied areas, like those in and around Moscow.
