In consequence of the reduction in the capacities of the main power plants, paper’s aim was to take emergency measures to provide the country with energy. Develop a strategy for redistributing energy production in case of repeated drought. Propose measures to prevent future drought in Brazil. As emergency measures it was proposed to import petroleum. It could easily compensate capacity of 4 chief hydroelectric power stations in a week (1.9 million m3) and would take 1.5 billion $ to purchase. Then solar energy plants in 12 months would have an average annual output of about 286 TW/h, which is almost 3 times more than the average annual output of Itaipu HES. According to Brazil coastal zone landscape and coastal belt density of population each power plant would work for around 100 years and give 250 W/h. Wind energy is less productive, but by 2 times cheaper than solar energy. Ameliaration, soil preparation and forest restoration were proposed as ecology remedies.

В статье предпринимается попытка разработать стратегию распределения энергии в случае повторной засухи и предложить меры предотвращения засухи в Бразилии. В качестве срочных мер было предложено импортировать нефть, что компенсирует производительность 4 главных гидроэлектростанций страны за неделю и затраты составят 1.9 миллиарда долларов. Строительство солнечных электростанций за 12 месяцев обеспечит мощность 286 ТВ/ч, что в 3 раза превышает мощность главной ГЭС страны. Приливные электростанции позволят вырабатывать 250 В/ч на протяжении 100 лет. Ветряные электростанции менее мощны, но в 2 раза дешевле солнечных.

The southeast region of Brazil has been experiencing since summer 2014 a major drought event leading to a number of impacts in water availability for human consumption, agricultural irrigation and hydropower production. As is known, 75% of the electricity generated in Brazil falls on hydroelectric power stations that are located in the channels of the largest rivers, such as Parana, San Francisco and Amazon. Most rivers either dried out or significantly reduced their capacity. In addition to disruptions at the hydropower station, the second largest source of electricity in the country - ethanol, which is made on the basis of sugar cane - suffered. A high percentage of crops due to lack of irrigation [1, 2, 3]. A quarter of the country's inhabitants had limit access to water. The north-eastern regions suffered so much because of aridity, that the government decided to change the channel of one of the largest rivers of Brazil - San Francisco. Also, several artificial river hoses were assigned to a territory with water shortage. The drought was largely due to the anthropogenic factor. First, in the last few decades, in Brazil, there is a massive urbanization, which entails irrational use of water resources. The felling of trees has significantly increased. Most of the forest goes to building materials and spaces for the new construction of sprawling cities [4, 5]. It was also a real hard time for animals (Figure 1).

Emergency measures Redistribution (power) Agroindustrial complex

Petroleum Import Solar panels Wind power Tidal Solar Wind Forest restoration Soil Sllvicultural preparation amelioration

Fig. 2. Paper's executive summary

First emergency measure would be to import petroleum from countries in neighborhood. The speed of this measure is its principal advantage. It would take only 1 week to accomplish this remedy. It could also easily compensate capacity of 4 chief hydroelectric power stations of this country (Tikurui, Santu Antonio, Iliya-Solteira, Shingo) by dint of around 1600 fossil fuel burning power stations located in Brazil (Figure 3). The main disadvantage of the measure is its cost. It would take 1.5 billion $ to purchase essential oil amount.

Another 2 remedies are using solar panels, wind generators by households. It will reduce demand for the delivery of the central electric network an upsurge the quantity of energy for industrial consumption. Time essential to implement measures is 6 and 12 months respectively.

The first measure for the redistribution of energy capacity: construction of tidal power plants. Advantages are accuracy, impact on landscape, durability (100 years), average power, Brazil coastal belt density of population: 100 people/km2. Other remedies are the appliance of wind and solar energy. The advantage of soar energy is that there are 300 days of sunshine a year in the northeast of Brazil. Taking into account the average intensity of solar radiation, a solar power plant equal in area to the Itaipu hydroelectric power station would have an average annual output of about 286 TW/h, which is almost 3 times more than the average annual output of Itaipu. The benefit of wind energy is that it is rather cheap. The ratio of wind and solar energy costs are presented on figure 4.

First of all, it is essential to end the destruction of tropical forests and start their partial restoration. Here are merits and of this remedy: deforestation helps to reduce the amount of precipitation, transpiration process stops, stable transport of moisture from the ocean to the centers of the continents. This remedy is important cause forest clearance was much higher in 2014 (244 square km) than in 2013 (43 square km). It is also important to implement system of zero soil preparation. Such a system of farming preserves water much better, especially in drought conditions, prevents water and wind erosion of the soil. This avoids the destruction of the forest in order to obtain new areas suitable for farming, and saves resources - fuel, fertilizer, labor, time, lower depreciation costs. Finally, silvicultural amelioration permits to reduce wind speed - decreases volatility by 10-30%, and the relative humidity of air increases by 5-10%. Another huge advantage is cheapness and absolute ecological harmlessness [6].
