Sao Paulo Main Water-Supply System May Run Dry Within 45 Days
via Bloomberg
The system that provides half the drinking water to South America’s largest city, Sao Paulo, will run dry in 45 days if there’s no rain, amid the biggest drought on record. The Cantareira water system, which supplies 10 million people in the region, is at less than a quarter of capacity, Francisco Lahoz, executive secretary of water association Consorcio PCJ, said in a telephone interview today.
Once it falls below 20 percent, Brazil’s biggest water utility Cia. de Saneamento Basico do Estado de Sao Paulo will face difficulties transferring water between reservoirs.
You think California is bad. The largest city in South America is about to run dry. I hadn’t even heard about this drought. The weather is weird lately. Slovenia is devastated by Ice and snow, Romania by snow, drought in Brazil and California and Ireland and the UK dealing with a constant barrage of storms that bring 70 foot waves. Wonder how they plan to fix this if no rain comes.. good luck Sao Paulo.
