Why Brazil, a country with 12% of the world’s fresh water, faces a water crisis:

“But it is Brazil's role as an agribusiness powerhouse that threatens the nature that provides it with so much water.”

Climate change too of course. But rainforests and natural savannah preserve the water.

"Sapopema" é o nome dado às raízes grossas das grandes árvores da Amazônia, como a Samaumeira ou Samaúma. Se você estiver perdido na mata e precisar informar a sua localização a alguém próximo, é só bater na raiz com algo resistente.. como um galho grosso! O som emitido pela raiz, além de bem alto, pode ser escutado a uma grande distância.

* "Sapopema" is the name given to the thick roots of the large Amazon trees, such as "Samaumeira" or "Samaúma". If you are lost in the woods and need to inform your location to someone close, just hit the root with something resistant.. like a thick branch! The sound emitted by the root, in addition to being very loud, can be heard at a great distance.

De agosto a novembro, as chuvas diminuem e começa o período de estiagem do Rio Amapari. Nessa época, a subida do rio de torna mais lenta e cuidadosa. Com o nível da água mais baixo, as rochas presentes nas suas corredeiras exigem mais perícia dos pilotos de embarcações.

* From August to November, the rains decrease and the dry period of the Amapari River begins. At this time, the ascent of the river becomes slower and more careful. With the water level lower, the rocks present in their rapids require more expertise from boat pilots.
