This article tends to analyse the drought scenario of the Naogaon district in Bangladesh through groundwater potential zone modelling. The study’s findings illustrate that the maximum area covers a moderately potential groundwater zone. The study data also portrays various threats, including food insecurity and economic, social and environmental risks that were noticed as a consequence of the severe drought. The findings from the data indicate that the Porsha and Sapahar upazillas (sub-districts) of Naogaon district are more vulnerable zones in terms of drought. It is noteworthy that the people have been using indigenous knowledge to combat drought hazards. Local people are using crop calendars, agronomic management, water harvesting practices for less water-consuming crops and changes in occupation to manage the risks of drought in the study region
