Brazil houses one-third of the world's rainforests, yet somehow parts of Brazil are in the middle of a terrible drought. One example of this drought arises in Sao Paulo, the country's largest city which is located near the coastline. It has been continuously raining in the city for a few days now, but if you visited you would never know. It has even been said that in order to make any difference the rain would need to stay for a few months. The city's reservoirs are dangerously low. Many of the residents are worried that things will get too bad to be fixed, but officials in the area are still slow to act. Part of the problem is the growth rate of the city. As the city grows, the government doesn't see the need to establish a growth in infrastructure. So, the question is, how did a place that produced around 15% of the world's water get into a water crisis and what will have to happen for the government to see this as a threat to the health, economy, and lifestyles of the citizens living in Sao Paulo.
