Introduction
The biggest city in South America with the country’s largest population was facing its greatest water crisis.
Sao Paulo’s worst water shortage since 1930 in consequence of severe drought.
It has been the driest on record for the past two rainy seasons.
Climate change, deforestation and reduced rainfall are the reasons for the shortage of water.
Why Sao Paulo is drying out?
The planet is suffering the consequences of CO2 emissions due to anthropogenic activities.
Drought and bad management are the main reasons for Sao Paulo’s water crisis.
There is no infrastructure; the cities are left unable to exploit the water sources right under their feet.
Scientists predict that the city is likely to face even greater catastrophes due to future population growth. …show more content…
Extended droughts, loss of rain, rising population and poor management are increasing the atypical climate scenario.
The government need to invest in new reservoirs or the situation will deteriorate and worsen in the future.
Watershed protection is one of the viable option for Sao Paulo’s reality in the water crisis.
Conclusion
The effects of the drought in Sao Paulo will be challenging in the future due to climate change and the cities population growth.
The government must take a proper action if the effects of the drought continues to impact Sao Paulo.
Brazil’s decision makers should increase water use efficiency, enhance water-storage capacity and stop deforestation in the Amazon as potential solutions to the water crisis.
It is needed to adopt a new culture educating the population taking care of water avoiding
