                         able to cause large economic and social losses. In recent years, 
                         droughts have affected different regions of Brazil, impacting 
                         water, food, and energy security. In this study, we used the 
                         Integrated Drought Index (IDI), which combines a 
                         meteorological-based drought index and remote sensing-based index, 
                         to assess the drought events from 2011 to 2019 over Brazil. During 
                         this period, drought events were observed throughout the country, 
                         being most severe and widespread between the years 2011 and 2017. 
                         In most of the country, the 2014/15 hydrological year stands out 
                         due to the higher occurrence of severe and moderate droughts. 
                         However, drought intensity and observed impacts were different for 
                         each region, which is shown by the different case studies, 
                         assessing different types of impacts caused by drought in Brazil. 
                         Thus, it is fundamental to evaluate the impacts of droughts in a 
                         continental country such as Brazil, where a variety of vegetation, 
                         soil, land use, and especially different climate regimes 
                         predominate.",
