The scope of the Plan focuses on the water dimension and, within its operational framework, addresses two scales: river basins – providing guidelines, strategies, and information for mitigation, preparedness, and response to drought situations in the basin – and hydrosystems, observing both surface and groundwater supply, as well as water demand, in order to define allocation rules and drought levels with associated trigger procedures tailored for each region. The planning operates based on a methodological strategy consisting of diagnosis, which includes the dimension of drought perceptions and memories among social actors and the identification of impacts and vulnerabilities; planning, within the context of supply, demand, construction of drought stage scenarios, triggers, response goals, and an action plan, which can be mobilized in different drought periods; and finally, execution, involving implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and updating.
