This Pipeline Could Save São Paulo's Water Supply

Residents of São Paulo, the richest state in Brazil, still struggle with the effects of last year's drought - the worst in eight decades.

Residents hope that a new 10km pipeline will prevent the need for an official rotating water cutoff. (Video by Ana Terra Athayde / Additional camera by Rachel Vianna) (Source: Bloomberg)
