Short summary
Utilizing a survey that includes respondents from seven societal sectors, the role of water dependency in drought vulnerability was explored. Differences were found in the perceived impact of vulnerability factors on drought risk in relation to water dependency (i.e., dependency on either soil moisture or groundwater and surface water). The results highlight the importance of accounting for water dependency and clearly defining the drought hazard in drought vulnerability or risk assessments.
