Guandú Basin, Brazil
The Guandú River basin is fundamentally important for the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. With a drainage area of 1,921 km2, the basin covers 12 municipalities, supplies water to more than 10 million people and various productive sectors, and supports the operation of hydroelectric and thermoelectric plants that generate employment and income for thousands of citizens. Much of the basin has been degraded, even as demands on water use have increased.
