Resumo
This paper studies how in utero exposure to a large-scale climate adaptation program affects birth outcomes. The program built
 around one million cisterns in Brazil’s poorest and driest region to promote small-scale decentralized rainfall harvesting. Access to
 cisterns during early pregnancy increased birth weight, particularly for more educated mothers. Data suggest that more educated
 women complied more with the program’s water disinfection training, highlighting that even simple, low-cost Technologies require final users’ compliance (‘‘the last mile”) to be effective. In the context of growing water scarcity, adaptation policies can foster neonatal health and thus have positive long-run implications.
