干旱

• 병음: gān hàn
• 한자 분석: 干 = 一 + 十 (dry, bare); 旱 = 日 + 干 (drought — sun above dry ground)

뜻

가뭄; (심하게) 건조하다

Used as both a noun (干旱来袭 — drought strikes) and an adjective (土地干旱 — arid land). Common in agriculture, meteorology, environmental science, and news reporting. Often paired with 缺水 (water shortage) and 减产 (crop failure). Distinct from 干燥, which simply describes a low-moisture state without implying disaster.
