Scenario analysis of the future is an important tool for supporting sustainability-oriented regional planning. To assist regional planning in two federal states in semi-arid North-eastern Brazil, Cear a and Piauı́, we developed integrated qualitative–quantitative scenarios that show potential developments of the agricultural and water resources situation as well as the internal migration until t...
