India's having its worst drought in almost 40 years
October 2, 2009

The average rainfall across India is 23% below average after the weakest monsoon season since 1972 in the world's second-most-populous country. Northwest India is actually 36% below normal precipitation. The shortage of precipitation is especially significant, since 60% of India's population relies on agriculture as a principal source of income; one analyst says the drought has set back farmers' well-being by ten years.
