Underground dams: contributing to climate change resilience of family based agro-ecosystems in the semi-arid region of northeastern Brazil.
The Brazilian semi-arid region in the Caatinga Biome is considered one of the most vulnerable to climatic variations due to irregular rainfall, water deficiency, low capacity for adaptation and the poverty of the population. Currently, there is a set of social water technologies for capturing and st...

| Sumario: | The Brazilian semi-arid region in the Caatinga Biome is considered one of the most vulnerable to climatic variations due to irregular rainfall, water deficiency, low capacity for adaptation and the poverty of the population. Currently, there is a set of social water technologies for capturing and storing rainwater in order to make the most of it, which has been used throughout the Brazilian semiarid by public policy programs. The underground dam is one of these technologies and, due to its importance for families, it is the subject of research developed by Embrapa and partners, aiming to contribute to family-based farmers resilience to the challenging weather of the Brazilian Northeast Semiarid. |
