TL;DR: In this article , the authors show that risk management generally reduces the impacts of floods and droughts, but faces difficulties in reducing impacts of unprecedented events of a magnitude not previously experienced.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the development of instream flow legislation and the evolution of drought planning to highlight the growing concern for the non-human impacts of water scarcity, and suggest greater integration between various planning processes could result in a more holistic consideration of water needs and uses across the landscape.

TL;DR: In this paper, a threat and hazard identification and risk assessment (THIRA) process was proposed to address potential drought planning gaps in the United States, which is likely due to the lack of a national drought planning policy.

TL;DR: Kreibich et al. as discussed by the authors presented a dataset containing socio-hydrological data of paired events, i.e. two floods or two droughts that occurred in the same area.

TL;DR: In this paper , a survey of American Planning Association members examined local planners' perceptions of drought planning strategies and barriers, as well as their jurisdictions' current and future drought-addressing plans, and found that planners were most amenable to collaboration with water conservation and hazard mitigation planning processes, somewhat amenable toward integrating drought into local land use plans and day-to-day policies, and less interested in undertaking standalone drought plans.
