Mud cracks etched into the parched earth: A stark reminder of dried-up river beds and farmers' watering holes, now relics of prolonged droughts in the Anti Atlas mountains of Morocco (April 2012) and African farms (1996-2011). As the sun beats down, the sun-baked mud cracks reveal a tale of arid conditions in Kruger National Park, South Africa, and other parts of the continent. This phenomenon, once confined to reservoirs during summer droughts, is now increasingly common in various corners of the world, including Haweswater in the UK, as climate change exacerbates droughts and water shortages. Witnessing the mud cracks in China, currently experiencing its worst drought in 50 years, underscores the urgency for global water conservation efforts. Over 60% of China's 669 major cities face water shortages, with 110 cities facing serious water crises.
