About this page

This page explains drought occurrence and its impacts according to Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. Drought occurs when reduced rainfall decreases river flow, requiring water intake restrictions. Japan has experienced major droughts historically, including the 1939 Lake Biwa drought and 1964 Tokyo Olympics drought. The 1994 nationwide drought affected approximately 16 million people through water cutoffs and caused 140 billion yen in agricultural damage. Drought significantly impacts domestic water supply, industrial operations, and agriculture, disrupting daily life and economic activities.
