Climate Change- The water level fell from above avergae to below average
For over 20 years rainfall remained well below average.
Seasonal Rivers and Water Holes dried out.
Overgrazing- The basic economy of many Sahel communities is animal grazing.
In the wetter years livestock in some areas increased by 40%
When the drought began this meant that there were too many animals for
the amount of water available
