Answer:

São Paulo is a city in Brazil that faced the worst drought in Brazil in the last 100 years between 2014–17.

The reason of the drought was diminished rain falls from last three third consecutive year in the region. Humans were somewhere responsible for the drought and less rainfall because this was caused by expansion of deforestation into the Amazon basin. Deforestation disturbed the environmental cycle that caused less amount of rain in São Paulo, Brazil.
