They Make Water Out of Sludge in Sao Paulo Now Sao Paulo's annual rainfall.........same as San Juan's..........57 inches. This drought is extreme. The Cantareira reservoir is Sao Paulo’s largest, its most essential. At most, it contains about 40 million cubic meters of water remaining before it is bone dry. And it’s losing this water at a rate of 200,000 cubic meters each day. Even worse, it’s uncertain if all the remaining water can be accessed. But if it could, it would take just 200 days to completely bottom out the Cantareira at the current rate of losses. For reference, there are about 100 days left until the rainy season starts in Sao Paulo. But with El Nino strengthening and with the Amazon Rain Forest suffering severe water losses, it is uncertain whether this year’s rainy season will arrive on time. They talk about Sao Paulo's rainy season.............but the reality is their non rainy season would be normal rainfall for CA. The non rainy season totals go from 2" per month to 4",6",7" per month during the rainy season. CA would be happy with just their non rainy season totals. Sao Paulo......another area.......that suffers from poor water mgmt.
