Opis

Living with the effects of drought is a challenge, especially for residents of arid and semi-arid regions where this phenomenon is present and routine. The Brazilian northeast is well acquainted with this reality. In an attempt to alleviate the population's situation, drought-fighting actions have emerged, including underground dams, which have emerged as an alternative for people to live with drought. This work was carried out by means of an exploratory approach pertinent to the local scenario of the multiple uses of underground dams in Bom Sucesso/PB, as well as mentioning the structural and non-structural elements of their installation, operation and maintenance. Presented in an original and didactic way, this work refers to the monograph developed by the authors at the Federal Rural University of the Semi-Arid (UFERSA, Pau dos Ferros/RN campus), contemplating technical-scientific explanations within an applied practical exploratory context.
