This is what deforestation can do to your city and your water supply.

That’s what you call a crisis.

Some might call São Paulo, Brazil, a city of dreams.

Beautiful, amirite?


But when people talk about São Paulo, what they often leave out is the crisis.

“A crisis?” you ask.

Yes. A water crisis.

Is this real life? For millions of São Paulo residents, it is.

It’s more than just a water crisis. It’s a people crisis.

It’s a crisis for Caiane da Costa.

It’s a crisis for restaurant owner Luiz Campiglia.

It’s a crisis for millions of other residents of São Paulo.
