The unprecedented initiative is motivated by the increase in the frequency of drought events and seeks to avoid a new one in the state, such as that occurred between 2014 and 2015.
According to the agency, half of the below -average rainfall periods since 1993 have occurred in the last decade. Popular participation can be made on the SP Águas website until July 5th.
