Análise Comparativa de Planos de Gestão para Problemas Relacionados com Secas no Estado da Paraíba, Brasil, e no Estado do Arizona, Estados Unidos da América

Abstract

There is an intrinsic relationship between drought events and their intensifiers, which are social, environmental and economic issues, that ultimately determine how intense the event can be for a given society, based on its resilience, in other words, how much she is prepared to receive such an event and recover from it. That is why management is necessary, looking at adapting the environment to the conditions encountered, improving the society’s quality of life. This work comes as a comparative study of the action plan to combat drought in the state of Paraíba, Brazil, compared to the state of Arizona, USA, facilitating the understanding of the differences between the two regions, with Arizona being a reference in terms of water management and having a functional action plan, and Paraíba a place quite impacted by the event without great management linked
