 Central Chile has been experiencing an extended period of drought since 2010, which has caused significant damage to crops, water resources, and ecosystems. This drought has been characterized by low rainfall and high temperatures, and has been attributed to a combination of factors including ENSO neutral conditions, decreased snowpack, and increased potential evaporation. To mitigate the effects of the drought, the government has implemented various measures, including providing subsidies to farmers, reducing water consumption, and encouraging the use of alternative sources of energy.
