Benefits and legacy of the water crisis in Brazil

Abstract: In this editorial, we reflect on the benefits and legacy of the water crisis in Brazil between 2013 and 2014, which affected the water supply in many regions and especially in the southeast region, with emphasis on the conflict between the states of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro over the right to use the water of the Paraíba do Sul River Basin. We analyze the current state of water resource management, the integrated use of water and energy and possible solutions to expand the availability of fresh water.

“…According to Targa and Batista (2015), the water crisis in the Southeast region seriously affected the RMSP and RMVP, promoted reflection on its uses as a finite resource. Additionally, its availability (or unavailability) has an impact on civil society, affecting regional economic development, and makes long-term planning for its uses essential.…”

“…Nessa pesquisa, as taxas de crescimento relativo (TCR) obtidas com alternância de períodos de chuvas intensas nos dois primeiros anos (média de 1.402 mm), que causaram a inundação dos solos, com períodos extremamente secos nos dois anos seguintes (média 889 mm) em uma magnitude até então ainda não registrada no Vale do Paraíba do Sul (Targa & Batista, 2015), foram similares entre o plantio homogêneo e os sistemas agroflorestais. A TCR ocorre em função de um componente morfológico, a razão de área foliar (RAF), que é a área foliar por unidade de massa seca total, e de um componente fisiológico, a taxa de assimilação líquida (TAL) (Pinzon-Torres & Schiavinato, 2008).…”

“…As pointed out by Targa and Batista (2015), the recent water deficit that occurred in São Paulo state during the years 2013-2015 strongly affected the Cantareira system (which is responsible for water supply for São Paulo City), provoked and promoted discussions and reflections about water management, including interconnected pumping between the Cantareira and Paraiba do Sul systems. However, insufficient discussions about future water availability at both basins have been conducted so far.…”
