Caicara is situated close to the town of Patos, State of Paraíba, in the northeast of Brazil at an average altitude of 240 m and 7° south of the Equator. The climate is characteristic of tropical semi-arid regions with an average annual rainfall of 800 mm, (31.5 in) concentrated within a short period of 2 to 4 months, followed by a long dry period. Drought cycles hit this region periodically and contribute to poverty, migration from rural areas and violence. Global climatic changes have caused a noticeable reduction in rainfall in the last few years.
