As a result, many Brazilians have long run with the narrative that their water is abundant. But that is changing. For the past four years, the Brazilian monitoring platform has been going through an archive of satellite images, dating all the way back to 1985, to track the area of aquatic surfaces in Brazil month by month.<\/p>\n<p>On average, these areas have been shrinking over the past decades, with recent years particularly badly affected. Just from 2023 to last year, the country lost about 400,000 hectares of water surface. That&#8217;s more than five times the size of Singapore. Brazil has experienced three major water crises in recent history \u2014 in 2001, 2014-2015 and 2021. These years were marked by low rainfall leading to water rationing, failing crops and power outages as the country generates around 60% of its electricity from hydropower. And that impacts Brazilians&#8217; pockets. Some of the droughts Brazil has experienced in recent years were made many times more likely by climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, growing water consumption and natural phenomena like El Nino also played their part. But when emissions heat the atmosphere, that can raise temperatures and change rainfall in complex ways. It often falls in intense and spaced-out bursts rather than moderately over a longer period. That&#8217;s how one part of Brazil could go through crippling drought and the other through devastating floods last year.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/why-brazil-faces-a-water-crisis\/a-72243220\">Deutsche Welle<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-697\/\">Why Brazil faces a water crisis<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1576,575,9248],"class_list":["post-139126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-brazil","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-water-crisis"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139126","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139126"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139126\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139126"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139126"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
