Viabilidade do projeto de integração do rio São Francisco com as bacias hidrográficas do nordeste setentrional

Abstract

This study deals with drought in the Brazilian Northeast, where it is mainly concentrated in an area known as the Drought Polygon, which is characterized by a semiarid climate, irregular rainfall, largely crystalline soil, in addition to economic underdevelopment. One of the proposed solutions to alleviate this problem is the transposition of the São Francisco River, which will bring water to the population abdicated to this resource. There are several problems surrounding this construction project, such as the regional, political, and historical issues, as well as the major problem related to the environmental impacts caused by the project. Although this civil work contains a recovery project, this is nothing more than the joining of several disconnected projects, in addition, almost all of the budget goes to basic sanitation, which harms other important projects.
