  • Oppose Drought is by definition below average rainfall. I can't see any evidence that this shot, taken in a desert is indicative of that. Deserts naturally have low amounts of precipitation. JJ Harrison (talk) 03:05, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The drought article states: "A drought is an extended period of months or years when a region notes a deficiency in its water supply..." Arguably, deserts have a deficiency in their water supply, and seeing as it can be a period of years, some deserts may qualify. Just some thoughts. --WingtipvorteX PTT 16:06, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
