                         severe drought periods in its recent history, during the years 
                         2013 to 2015, which resulted in several consequences for the 
                         management of its water resources. This article aims to contribute 
                         to the understanding of this historical event in the sao Paulo 
                         Stretch of the Paraiba do Sul River Basin, through the calculation 
                         and analysis of the standardized precipitation index (SPI). SPI 
                         was calculated for the time scales of 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, for 
                         22 rainfall stations located in the study area. The results showed 
                         that the drought occurred between 2013 and 2014 was one of the 
                         most severe ever recorded, and that the summer of 2014 was the 
                         critical period in terms of reduction of regional rainfall. This 
                         drought impacted the storage and regularization capacity of the 
                         main reservoir of the region, the Paraibuna Reservoir. Although 
                         the peak of the water crisis occurred mainly due to the 2013/2014 
                         drought, it was found that it was influenced by the cumulative 
                         effect of a previous dry period, that occurred since the beginning 
                         of the year of 2011. This result reinforces the importance of 
                         multiannual planning for the operation of the Paraiba do Sul River 
                         Basin Hydraulic System.",
