Furthermore, the Editors of the journal of Science of the Total Environment would like to recommend you read this article that has recently been accepted for publication in Science of the Total Environment. Co-Editor-in-Chief of the journal Damia Barcelo explains:
“This paper focus on drought as a recurrent feature of climate variability that occurs in virtually all climate zones,. It is well-known that severe drought events would cause a great threat to the ecological environment, human health and the terrestrial water-carbon cycle. A long-term analysis on the drought as well as the meteorological driven factors would be helpful to explore the regional environmental moisture changes and provide guidance on the local drought management. Based on the long time series of drought data in Brazil, this paper made a discussion on the frequency, intensity, duration and areal-extent of the severe and extreme droughts at four time scales. Drought events in Brazil were examined from 1901-2013. One of the main conclusions of this study is that probabilities of extreme droughts are 1 in 9 and 1 in 12 years over Northern Brazil and in the South, respectively. Finally the concept of "living with drought" was introduced for this global problem.”
