The 1920s drought in Georgia was a severe and prolonged dry spell that lasted from 1924 to 1932. This extended period of below-average rainfall had devastating effects on the state's agricultural sector, leading to crop failures, food shortages, and economic hardship for many farmers. The drought also caused water shortages, depleted reservoirs, and damaged ecosystems, impacting wildlife and natural resources. The drought of the 1920s is considered one of the most significant environmental disasters in Georgia's history, highlighting the vulnerability of the state's agriculture and economy to extreme weather events.
