Water scarcity and birth outcomes in the Brazilian semiarid

Espen Rasmussen/Panos Pictures

Arid and semiarid regions encompass 54% of the developing world's agricultural area and one-third of its rural population. Close to 1 billion people today, among the poorest in the planet, live in regions characterized by recurrent moisture stress. Lack of adequate access to water also increases the susceptibility to climatic shocks associated with fluctuations in rainfall. This paper analyzes the impact of rainfall fluctuations during the gestational period on health at birth.
