More than half of Sao Paulo’s residents say they’re already experiencing water shortages and blame both the federal and state governments as the worst drought in eight decades threatens drinking supplies in South America’s biggest metropolis.
Sixty percent of the population say their water supplies were restricted at least once in the past 30 days, up from 35 percent in early June, according to a DataFolha poll published in Folha de S. Paulo newspaper today. Of those people, 74 percent said the cut lasted at least six hours.
