The recent advancements in drought management and policy in Brazil, while are in part very technical and scientific in nature, are first told in more of a story-telling format (Chapters 1 through 9) that will appeal to policy makers and development practitioners alike. The more technical details are elaborated upon in the second part of the book (Chapters 10 through 12).en-USCC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGODROUGHTGOVERNANCEINSTITUTIONSWATER SUPPLYDROUGHT PREPAREDNESSCLIMATE CHANGERESILIENCEMUNICIPAL AGRICULTUREFOOD SECURITYPOVERTYBookTaylor and Francis10.1596/978-1-4987-6566-4https://doi.org/10.1596/978-1-4987-6566-4
