Socioeconomic drought is what happens when physical water shortage starts to affect people, individually and collectively. Or, in more abstract terms, most socioeconomic definitions of drought associate it with the supply and demand of an economic good. One could argue that a physical water shortage with no socioeconomic impacts is a policy success. 2, record 1, English, - socio%2Deconomic%20drought

Socio-economic Drought Perspective. Not all water shortages are manifest in ways that impact people. A socio-economic perspective does not recognize drought until it tangibly effects peoples' lives in terms of their behavior and options (e.g., water rationing, increased prices, or lost recreational opportunities) or depressed earning power (in particular reduced agricultural income which may trickle down and adversely affect through other industries, thus increasing regional financial stress). 1, record 1, English, - socio%2Deconomic%20drought
