  3. Brazil Fifth largest country About 170 million of people Rich in water… We speak Portuguese not Spanish Our Capital is Brasília and not Buenos Aires

  4. Brazil Low population density No water problem

  5. São Francisco River Basin • 2,700 km from its headwaters to its mouth; • draining a 639,219 km2 area (8%) • 503 Municipalities and a population of 15,545,866 million of people 25.6 million hectares (40%) of agricultural land. • Water demands => 224 m³/s. • Being: • 28 m³/s (12.5%) => urban supply; • 160 m³/s (71.4%) => irrigation; • 7 m³/s (3.1%) => animal consumption • 29 m³/s (13%) => industrial purposes

  6. São Francisco River Basin About 85% of the SF water is originated in the cerrados and 72% comes from the State of Minas Gerais. The long term mean discharge in the mouth varies from 2,850 to 3,360 m3/s. The Basin has a potential power generation of 26,346 MW. 9,290 MW is already installed. HDI varies from 0,823 in the upper SF to 0,538

  7. São Francisco River Basin - Precipitation Annual mean precipitation depths vary from 400 to 1,600 mm.

  8. São Francisco River Basin - Climate Great diversity of climates, going from humid, in the Southern and Western parts, to semi-arid, in the Juazeiro / Petrolina area.

  9. Paracatu River Basin One of the most important SF sub-basins Area => 45.600 km2 (7%). About 85% of the SF water is originated in the cerrados and 72% comes from the State of Minas Gerais. 40% of SF discharge during the dry season; 38% of SF discharge during the rain season. 40% of SF discharge during the dry season; 38% of SF discharge during the rain season.

  10. Preto River Basin - One of the most important Paracatu sub-basins (Area => 10.459 km2 .) - Agriculture is the most important activity; - Facing serious water conflict - HDI > 0.65

  11. Preto River Basin

  12. Preto River Basin

  13. Embrapa Cerrados Why Preto River? • Logistically is the most adequate place; • Upper Catchments with serious water conflicts => Irrigators • Lack of information for planning • Data • Impact of the results
