Answer 2

Producers are organisms, such as plants, that produce their own food, and are then eaten by other organisms. Water shortages (droughts) limit the growth of many producers. Without sufficient water, plants cannot undergo photosynthesis. This limits their growth, and limits the available energy sources for the entire ecosystem.
