As reported by organizations on the Hub.
1.1.1.WATER RESOURCES Brazil has always been considered a country rich in water. It is estimated that about 12 per cent of the world’s surface water resources are located in the country. In 2007, per capita water availability reached 43,027m3 per year, more than the world average of 8,209m3 per capita in the same year. However, this impressive average masks an extremely uneven distribution of water resources among regions. The Amazon river basin alone, which covers 48 per cent of the country’s territory, accounts for 68 per cent of Brazil’s freshwater resources but has almost 12 per cent of its population. The most dramatic departure from abundance can be found in the northeast region, which includes most of the country’s semi-arid region. Accounting for 18 per cent of Brazil’s territory and about 28 per cent of its population, the northeast region has only 3 per cent of the country’s water resources and is subject to recurrent severe droughts, harvest failures, and food shortages. The southeast, with 73 per cent of the country’s population, 11 per cent of its territory and about 7per cent of its water resources, is the heart of Brazil’s industrial economy and also has the highest agricultural production. Brazil has 12 hydrographical regions (included the Amazon, Tocantins, São Francisco) the Plata river, which has three Brazilian sub-basins: Paraná, Upper Paraguay, and Uruguay and the remaining rivers flowing into the Atlantic, which are divided into several basins. The Amazon and the Tocantins-Araguaia basins in the north account for 56 per cent of Brazil’s total drainage area. The Amazon River, the world’s largest river by volume of water and second longest after the Nile, is navigable by ocean steamers as far as Iquitos in Peru. The São Francisco River is the largest river entirely within Brazil, flowing for over 1,609km northward before it turns eastward into the Atlantic. The last 277km of the lower river is navigable for ocean-going ships. The Paraná-Paraguay river system drains the southwestern portion of the state of Minas Gerais. Brazil’s two southernmost states partially drain into the Uruguay river, which flows into the Plata river. The inflow of the Amazon to Brazil is 1.9BCM per year, so that the total surface water resources in the country reach, on average, 8.2BCM per year. The stored groundwater in Brazil is less than 1,000m deep; the groundwater that is of sufficient quality for human use is estimated at 112,000km³, with highly variable extraction rates. In Brazil, groundwater is used in rural areas for domestic water supply and irrigation on a moderate scale. Estimates suggest that approximately 300,000 wells are being used, and over 10,000 more are drilled every year. Groundwater is beginning to be used on a large scale in areas where surface water sources are scarce, where they are heavily used, or where their use is problematic due to heavy water pollution (as in central and southern Brazil).
1.1.2.WATER USE About 61 per cent of all water withdrawal in Brazil is used for irrigation, which is lower than the average water withdrawal for irrigation in Latin America of 71 per cent. The irrigated area in 1998 was 28,000km3, which represents 5.7 per cent of the cultivated area. The irrigation potential of Brazil is estimated at 293,000km3, including only areas where irrigation can be developed and excluding areas of high ecological value in the northern region (such as the Amazonas and Tocantins basins). Ineffective irrigation has generated salinization and drainage problems in 150km3, mostly in the northeast (of a total irrigated area of 7,360km3), jeopardizing these lands’ productivity. Access to electricity has increased from fewer than 500 kilowatt hours (KWh) per capita in 1970 to more than 2,000KWh per capita in 2000. These results have been achieved mainly through the development of hydropower, which currently accounts for 81 per cent of Brazil’s installed capacity (69 gigawatts out of a total of 79). Brazil also has the largest hydroelectric power plant in operation in the world, the Itaipú Dam, which was built between 1975 and 1991 in a joint development on the Paraná River. Its 18 generating units add up to a total production capacity of 12,600MW (megawatts) and a reliable output of 75 million MWh a year, providing 25 per cent of the energy supply in Brazil and 78 per cent of that in Paraguay (in 1995).
1.2.WATER QUALITY, ECOSYSTEMS AND HUMAN HEALTH The major environmental problems are: deforestation in the Amazon Basin that destroys habitat and endangers a multitude of plant and animal species indigenous to the area; the lucrative illegal wildlife trade; air and water pollution in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and several other large cities; land degradation and water pollution caused by improper mining activities; wetland degradation; and severe oil spills. Sewage is a major cause of water pollution in Brazil, a significant problem that undermines quality of life, health, and economic development in large metropolitan areas and has a disproportionate impact on the poor in the slums surrounding Brazil’s largest cities. Water quality management is also undertaken by the states, although the quality of their water monitoring systems and surveys varies widely. In 2006, only nine Brazilian states had water quality monitoring systems that were rated as excellent or very good; five had good or fair systems, and thirteen had weak systems. The southeastern state of São Paulo, with a monitoring system considered very good, registered in its latest study high microbiological indexes indicative of pollution from domestic sewage both upstream and downstream in the Bairro da Serra river, and even higher indexes from its two main Country Overview - Brazil tributary streams
