The severe drought in Sao Paulo, Brazil Mariana Ramos Del Corso

Brazil

Sao Paulo It is one of the most important states in the country One of the most productive economies in the country – 33% GDP It is the richest state 40 million inhabitants in 2014

Water

High temperatures and no rainfall It is the worst drought in 80 years. The southeast had the lowest indices of precipitation of the country. In some regions the precipitation was 80% less than the historical average

Before and after

Grains were small and dried up. The expectation return was 32 million of coffee bags, but they got only 28 million. Decrease in 9.4% in 2014/2015, when compared to 2013/2014 The production might decrease of 15-20% in the production this year.

The root of the problem: Deforestation In the last decade, 20% of the Amazon forest has been deforested 2 thousand trees are lost in 1 minutes Almost 88% of Atlantic Forest was lost

Deforestation 70% of the precipitation in Sao Paulo depends on the Amazon forest Atlantic Forest: protects rivers’ spring and help to maintain the local clime Both forest maintain the hydrographic cycle of water

Deforestation Decrease the quality of water In a vegetation canopy: water is slowly filtered and then reaches underground and form rivers’ sources Deforestation area: water leaches, carrying soil particles and silt rivers.

How agriculture can help… We have to fight to increase the production without the cropland devastation. 70% of all the water is designated to agriculture industry.
