The Cantareira System – the main water reservoir in Greater São Paulo – officially started operating in the restriction range, reaching 28.4% of its capacity volume this Wednesday (3).
According to Sabesp, the reservoir enters a state of restriction if it registers a volume below 30% on the last day of the month. On October 31, Cantareira was already operating below 30% – it was 28.1%.
The October rains caused the reservoir level to improve and reach 28.2%, but the indices fell again after a brief stability.
Even at the beginning of last month, the system was already operating at 29.6% of capacity: the lowest volume in the last five years, and was already considered an alert level.
The Cantareira System is formed by the Jaguari, Jacareí, Cachoeira, Atibainha and Paiva Castro reservoirs.
