The implementation of one of the most controversial mega-projects of the Lula government is imminent: the São Francisco river transposition, known as the Transposição. With this megalomaniac enterprise, which will benefit predominantly the export-oriented agro-business, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula wants to make history in the poor semi-arid region of Northeast Brazil.

I don´t see why it can´t be done. We all know that Brazilians are smarter than Americans. And one city, Los Angeles, not even a federal project, built a water system almost a hundred years ago which today brings L.A. over sixteen million liters of water. Most of it comes from a distance of 360 kilometers and is pumped almost seven hundred meters over the mountains east of L.A. Too much negative thinking going on here. You can´t even get wet sand out of the Jaguaribe during the dry season. Is that fair?
