Brazil Water Crisis Seen Worsening As Sao Paulo Nears ‘Collapse’
Sao Paulo residents were warned by a top government regulator today
to brace for more severe water shortages as President Dilma Rousseff
makes the crisis a key campaign issue ahead of this weekend’s runoff
vote.
“If the drought continues, residents will face more dramatic water
shortages in the short term,” Vicente Andreu, president of Brazil’s
National Water Agency and a member of Rousseff’s Workers’ Party, told
reporters in Sao Paulo. “If it doesn’t rain, we run the risk that the
region will have a collapse like we’ve never seen before,” he later told
state lawmakers.
