The rains that have been hitting São Paulo in recent days have generated expectations among the population that Cantareira would finally have a respite in the midst of the water shortage crisis. But the level keeps falling.

Currently, the system has just over 28% of its volume, at the beginning of the month it was above 30%. According to specialists, this happened and should continue to happen due to a series of factors such as the location of the dams that are far from the capital, where the rains were registered.
Another important reason for the successive losses is that the rainfall in recent months continued below their respective historical averages in the region of the system.
Another reason is that the withdrawal of water from Cantareira continues to be greater than the water that reaches the system. This water currently arrives mainly through the interconnection with other dams.
