Английская Википедия:Eastern Cape drought
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Update The Eastern Cape region of South Africa experienced a severe multi-year drought from 2015 through early 2020.[1][2] The drought was one of the worst in the region's history and led the South African government to declare the region a "disaster area" in October 2019.[3]
A local hydrologist, Gideon Groenewald, has stated that it could be the worst drought the area as experienced in one thousand years[4][5] and has had serious negative socioeconomic impacts on the region.[6] Heavy rains in 2019 were not enough to break the drought.[7][8] Reasons cited for the severity of the drought include poor water management by local government, unpredictable rainfall patterns,[9] and vandalism of local infrastructure.[10] Areas of the Eastern Cape that overlap with the Karoo, such as the area around Graaff-Reinet, have been especially badly hit.[11][12] The drought has caused projected financial losses of R6.4 billion in livestock production, with extensive livestock areas accounting for some 5,600 jobs.[13] The drought started to take place at the same time as the Cape Town water crisis.
