2. THE DROUGHT IN EGYPT
In Egypt the sahara desert is the worlds most common desert
with lots of droughts. It rains for every 6 months. It used to be
known for the mount of water it had in the ancient times but
the saharans did not use the water wisely so the water got
wasted. This is also due to the fact that these saharian and
Egyptions do not have the right facilities to keep this drought
down because they are LEDC countries. These droughts effect
the citezens because they are mostly agricultural and they do
not have any minerals crops and animals to live because the
food of the animal which are plants and vegetables do not
grow. This country is trying their best to preserve water and
learn from their mistake they did in the ancient times.

3. THE DROUGHT IN AUSTRALIA
In Australia droughts are happening ocasionally
but one time in1982-1983 there was a drought that had never
been seen before. In the centeral part of Australia
crops died farmers payment went low and the worst part was
when particularly 3 billion ringgit was wasted buy the goverment.
At that time it effected the agricultural comunity because there
were still people in the agricultural comunity from the 1940’s.
Although this country it wasn’t fully a rich country but they were
still considerd as MEDC. So the people there have the deaths to
pay for this drought. They also had the right facilities to stop this
drought from spreading and It payed off that until now they do
not have many droughts. Although they can be controled but its a
sesonal thing so the droughts here usualy comes when there isn’t
enough rain. We can say it comes only in the summer times.

4. ANALYSIS
For the MEDC countries water companies are trying to
reduce the mount of drought
by preserving the water and making it clean. They
complained and said that they need to stop
waisting water by using it for baths washing things
uneseccrally .For the LEDC countries they are trying to
work for money therefore they can afford filters and
claning things to purify the water when there is a lack
of water.

5. THE DIFFERNCES AND THE
SIMILARITIES
The diffrences between australia and Eygypt is that.
Australians can manage the drought and also controlling it
from spreading from differnt places, whereas the Egyptions
find it hard from cntrolling it from spreading because they
are Less Economically Developed Countries. The
similarities is that they both have droughts every summer
and both countries find it hard to grow crops vegetables
and meat.They also have these droughts occasionally.
