__NOTOC__<small-title />Managing and adapting to drought can be done by using small-scale technical solutions to access, store, treat, distribute, and productively use water. These technologies help increase the availability of water, are suitable in drought prone areas, and show the best methods on how to make water systems more resilient to drought. 
The list below are technical measures to increase the [[Resilient WASH systems in drought-prone areas|resilience of WASH systems]].
