Sistema Cantareira, Water supply system in São Paulo, Brazil
Sistema Cantareira consists of five interconnected reservoirs storing billions of liters of water to serve the São Paulo metropolitan region.
The construction of this water infrastructure began in 1966 with the Juqueri River reservoir, followed by additional reservoirs Cachoeira and Atibainha.
The water management system shapes daily life in São Paulo by providing water to 9 million residents through an intricate network of distribution.
The system stretches across 2,307 square kilometers through multiple municipalities, including Bragança Paulista, Piracaia, Vargem, and Joanópolis.
Water flows through underground tunnels and channels between two river basins, transferring resources from Piracicaba Basin to Alto Tietê Basin.
