Ukraine and it's smaller neighbor have been hit by devastating drought in the past, which majorly diminished crops. The problem of climate change disrupting temperature and rain patterns is apparent in many places in Easter Europe that have transitioned towards hotter climates recently.

Countries at risk of drought are not always the same as those experiencing the most water stress, which is defined as a lack of enough suitable water for the use of all people in the country, including drinking.While water stress was also common in South Asia, the middle East and North Africa, it was much less common in Europe where poor water quality poses less of a problem.

World Resource Institute collected Hundred thirty eight data by survey and took into account past drought intensity, water stress, drought vulnerability, population, crop and livestock density.
