Abstract Global climate change globally has led to temperature increase worldwide, and this has indirectly affected evaporation and transpiration, the movement of water into the atmosphere from land, water surfaces and plants due to evaporation and transpiration, and thus expected to lead to increased drought magnitudes. Drought events and their consequences pose a significant predicament for governments, businesses and individuals and it would have been wrong not to study the drought phenomena. Uganda depends on rain-fed agriculture. Yet, drought information to indigenous and local farmers is virtually non-existent. Masaka district in central Uganda has was chosen for this research because it depends 100% on rain-fed agriculture. |
