Seasonal water scarcity in southern China has been a topic of concern in China for years,but the increased frequency of scarce precipitation in growth season of rice created a flurry of activity in academic and policy arenas.These events severely disrupted the supply of irrigation water for agriculture in paddy-field areas and posed a substantial threat to farmers livelihoods.Within a broader effort to assess farmers resilience to agricultural drought,this paper focuses on the response mechanisms and adaptive strategies adopted by farming households in three-type areas (Plain,Hill,Mountain) in Dingcheng,Hunan Province.
