It is observed that today's generation handled the dry spells less well than their ancestors did. The reasons for this are discussed. The catastrophe could have been less harsh if proper insight and technological know-how had been used to mitigate the drought. Its most appropriate aspects are discussed both in general terms and on the specific plant level. During the dry spells the best care and the most efficient use of water for crop production are needed to maximize the chances for the survival of plants, animals and man. -from Author
