Because according to a variety of studies conducted, nowadays our demand and need for water far exceed the amount of water resources available in different areas. As a result, in order to cope with this crisis, it is necessary to use water-recycling systems, reduce demands, employ optimal equipment for water consumption and use other methods which will be discussed in this study. Keywords: Drought, Drought Management, Demand Reduction Introduction Drought is counted as one of the severe and critical climatic problems in the world. Nowadays, there is a global concern to cope with this natural disaster (Salas et al., 2005) (Fig. 3). A drought is a phenomenon that may occur at any time and in any places and in case of unpreparedness to confront it, this phenomenon can cause economic, social and environmental problems (Woods, 1989). Therefore, it is essential to reduce the damage caused by this phenomenon through the planning and implementation of crisis management. The performance of water apply limitations in a given region is very much related to the intensity of an evolving drought; thus, water management agencies such as City Water Departments often face the query of how exigent or intense a specific drought incident is (Sheffield et al., 2009). Comprehension templates of herbage population fatality during extreme weather incidents is significant to protection planners because the periodicity of such incidents is attended to enhance, creating the require to complete climatic hesitancy into management. Climate alteration is change sorts dispensations, thereby entangling protection endeavors. Protection cartographers must realize how climate drives ecological variations at spatial and time scales pertinent to man-made intention making (Lo Gullo and Salleo, 1993). Movements in drought intensity, period and alternation recommend that soil moisture droughts have become more intense, extended and periodic. Drought periodicity and intensity are forestalled to enhances across numerous continental inners, the results of these alters for dominant herbages are mostly uncertains (Gitlin et al., 2006). Drought usually occurs with continuous periods of reduction in soil moisture and water supply, which is lower than its normal level for the environment and society (Wang et al., 2011). Nowadays, drought is examined from several perspectives that include: (1) meteorological, (2) agricultural, (3) hydrological and (4) economic perspectives. From a meteorological perspective, a drought is a period of reduction in natural precipitation and moisture sources (Mueller et al., 2005). From an agricultural perspective, a drought is a period, during which soil moisture is insufficient for the beginning of the growing season, as well as for the tolerance and sustainability of crops. From a hydrological perspective, a drought is a period, during which the flow of streams is lower than its normal level and reserves of water reservoirs decrease and finally, the economic drought refers to its effects on human activities and consequently physical processes in the area (William et al., 1989).
