SUMMARY:

Droughts have become a worldwide concern, considering the recent reports of this phenomenon in different territories, such as Europe, Asia, Central America, North America and South America. Due to the recurrence of these events, the determination of the severity of droughts is necessary for the development of policies associated with the control of this phenomenon. Thus, this research seeks (1) to map the dry areas and (2) to determine the severity of droughts in the São Francisco River basin. This will help to determine if the areas with more severe droughts are equaly distributed along the Basin or are concentrated at a single point. The São Francisco River Basin is located in Brazil and encompasses the largest part of the semi-arid Northeast. To determine the severity of droughts, the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), in order to classify droughts into mild, moderate, severe and extreme. Precipitation data were downloaded from National Institute of Meteorology (INMET) database. To perform the calculation of the drought index, a programming language will be used. As a result for this research, an increase in events is expected through the classification of droughts characterized as severe and extreme, and a growth of areas affected by this phenomenon throughout the Basin. It is also expected that this study will contribute to the development of development of Basin management policies within the context of droughts.
