abstract: The changing climate in combination with a prevailing water-management style of draining the land and discharging the water has increased the likelihood of droughts and their negative impacts through desiccation in the Netherlands, and especially the elevated sandy soil regions. The issues concerning drought affect several sectors such as agriculture, industry as well as drinking water supply, and nature preservation. Due to extended dry periods in recent years, awareness of prolonged periods of droughts and the structural consequences of this through desiccation have grown considerably. In this context, the term resilience is growing in popularity. Despite that, drought governance in the Netherlands, and with it a focus on drought 'resilience', is still in its infancy. At the same time definitions of resilience remain rather abstract  in much literature and policy, and elusive to more practical engagement. This research attempts to analyze the concept of resilience in the context of drought via a practical assessment framework and by doing so, move beyond the abstractness of the term.
