| Description: |
A drought has been declared on the entire North Island of New Zealand - in what the government describes as the worst dry spell in 30 years. Farmers are especially hard hit, with losses in agriculture expected to shave about 1% off economic growth. The scale of the drought can be seen from space: satellite images show how parts of New Zealand have turned from lush green to parched brown. [Source: BBC News]
