Droughts are generally associated with direct and indirect impacts, but their relationships propagation dynamics often unknown. This study aims to fill this research gap by exploring the spill-over effects of drought impacts across systems and, in doing so, identifying leverage points within promote effective mitigation strategies. To achieve these objectives, 2022 a portion Po River Basin District analysed through qualitative application System Dynamics methodology called Causal Loop Diagrams, systemic representations that can effectively capture interdependencies complex subsystems. The findings reveal increased production costs all water-using sectors due higher energy demands driven energy-intensive activities such as irrigation, pumping potabilization. empirical results offer novel insight into identification providing further evidence on water-energy nexus. Therefore, policy approaches enhance blue green water reserves, while addressing interconnections, encouraged for mitigating impacts. underscores importance adopting proactive approach management rather than reactive responses during occurrence extreme events. Finally, fields characterized high fragmentation, policy, demonstrates how representing system behaviour causal maps support integration different sectoral policies, decision-makers tools evaluate address complexity droughts.

The existence of the El Nino phenomenon has an environmental impact, it causes low rainfall in southern hemisphere, like Indonesia. Drought caused by is distributed throughout Indonesia, including Lombok Island. Sekotong District area surrounded karst landforms and beaches. Karst areas cannot store groundwater so droughts often occur. Low water availability cause agricultural land to dry out fill needs. This study aims map distribution affected drought due its impact on agriculture District. analysis this uses Normalized Difference Index (NDDI) for conducting purposive interviews with farmers results are class around 2754.81 hectares without shortage; 11,727.46 normal conditions; 11,715.31 mild drought; 5313.1 moderate 1,606.62 severe 1,144.57 very drought. impacts include 1) Crop failure rice commodities; 2) Agricultural crops substituted peanuts corn; 3) not utilized at all because there no available.
