Recife is the four-teen-largest metropolitan area in Brazil with 3,743,854 inhabitants (2012), the largest metropolitan area of the North/Northeast Regions, the 3th-largest metropolitan influence area in Brazil, and the capital and largest city of the state of Pernambuco. The population of the city proper was 1,555,039 in 2012.
Recife is located where the Beberibe River meets the Capibaribe River to flow into the Atlantic Ocean. It is a major port on the Atlantic Ocean. Its name is an allusion to the stone reefs that are present by the city's shores. The many rivers, small islands and over 50 bridges found in Recife city center characterize its geography and gives it the moniker of the "Brazilian Venice." As of 2010, it is the capital city with the highest HDI in Northeast Brazil.
The Metropolitan Region of Recife is the main industrial zone of the State of Pernambuco; most relevant products are those derived from cane (sugar and ethanol), ships, oil platforms, electronics, and others; thanks to the fiscal incentives of government, many industrial enterprises were started in the 1970s and 1980s. Recife has a tradition of being the most important commercial center of the North/Northeastern region of Brazil with more than 52,500 business enterprises in Recife itself plus 32,500 in the Metro Area which totals more than 85,000.
A combination of a large supply of labor and significant private investments turned Recife into Brazil's second largest medical center (second only to São Paulo); modern hospitals with state-of-the-art equipment receive patients from several neighboring States.
Like all other cities in the Northeast, Recife is developing its tourist sector. The beach of Porto de Galinhas, 60 kilometers (37 mi) south of the city, has been repeatedly awarded the title of best beach in Brazil and has drawn many tourists, and the Historic Centre of the Town of Olinda, 7 kilometers (4.3 mi) north of the city, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1982.[8] Recife's infrastructure is among the most developed in Brazil for travellers and business people, though there is wide room for improvement.
The city is also an educational center, and home to the Federal University of Pernambuco, the largest university in Pernambuco. Several Brazilian historical figures, such as the poet and abolitionist Castro Alves, moved to Recife to attain their education. Recife and Natal are the only Brazilian cities with direct flights to the islands of Fernando de Noronha, World Heritage Site.
The city is one of the host cities of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Additionally, Recife hosted the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup and 1950 FIFA World Cup.

Empty water reservoirs, severe water rationing, and electrical blackouts are the new status quo in major cities across southeastern Brazil where the worst drought in 35 years has desiccated the region. A new NASA study estimates that the region has lost an average of 15 trillion gallons of water per year from 2012 to 2015. Eastern Brazil as a whole has lost on average 28 trillion gallons of water per year over the same time period.
Augusto Getirana, a hydrologist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, in Greenbelt, Maryland, analyzed the amount of water stored in aquifers and rivers across Brazil from 2002 to 2015, interested in understanding the depth of the current drought.
A new data visualization of 13 years of GRACE data shows the distribution of water across Brazil. Blues indicate increases in water, mostly occurring in the western regions of Brazil in the rainforest. Meanwhile red shows where water stores have declined, occurring mainly in the north and southeast. At the beginning of the data collection, in 2002, Brazil was just coming out of a drought that began in 2000. A wet period followed until 2012 when dry conditions set in again due to a lack of precipitation and higher than usual temperatures, according to supplemental data.
Southeastern Brazil was hardest hit by drought conditions, said Getirana. To make matters worse, Brazil relies on rivers that feed into reservoirs and dams that generate about 75 percent of the electrical power for the country. By September 2014, for example, the Cantareira reservoir system that provides water for 8.8 million people in São Paulo's metro region reported that it was filled to 10.7 percent of its total capacity, a situation that has led to major water rationing.

A traditional Olympic flame handover ceremony was held at the Panathenaic stadium in Athens, Wednesday, during which the President of the Rio 2016 Organising Committee Carlos Nuzman received the Olympic flame from the President of the Hellenic Olympic Committee Spyros Capralos.
The Olympic flame's 20,000 kilometre (12,400 mile) journey to Rio de Janeiro - the venue of the 2016 Olympic Games - took off in the Greek city of Olympia on April 21. The flame is due to begin a 95-day tour of the South American nation on May 3. Around 12,000 torchbearers are scheduled to carry the Olympic flame through 329 towns and cities in all five regions of Brazil. The Olympic torch relay will conclude at the opening ceremony at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro on August 5, when the official Olympic cauldron will be lit.

Brazil 
i/brəˈzɪl/ (Portuguese: Brasil, IPA: [bɾaˈziw]), officially the Federative Republic of Brazil (Portuguese: República Federativa do Brasil, 
listen (help·info)), is the largest country in South America. It is the world's fifth largest country, both by geographical area and by population with over 192 million people. It is the only Portuguese-speaking country in the Americas and the largest lusophone country in the world.
Bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Brazil has a coastline of 7,491 km (4,655 mi). It is bordered on the north by Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and the French overseas region of French Guiana; on the northwest by Colombia; on the west by Bolivia and Peru; on the southwest by Argentina and Paraguay and on the south by Uruguay. Numerous archipelagos form part of Brazilian territory, such as Fernando de Noronha, Rocas Atoll, Saint Peter and Paul Rocks, and Trindade and Martim Vaz. It borders all other South American countries except Ecuador and Chile.
Brazil was a colony of Portugal from the landing of Pedro Álvares Cabral in 1500 until 1815, when it was elevated to the rank of kingdom and the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves was formed. The colonial bond was in fact broken in 1808, when the capital of the Portuguese colonial empire was transferred from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro, after Napoleon invaded Portugal.Independence was achieved in 1822 with the formation of the Empire of Brazil, a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system. The country became a presidential republic in 1889, when a military coup d'état proclaimed the Republic, although the bicameral legislature, now called Congress, dates back to the ratification of the first constitution in 1824. Its current Constitution, formulated in 1988, defines Brazil as a Federal Republic. The Federation is formed by the union of the Federal District, the 26 States, and the 5,564 Municipalities.

Xingui peoples are indigenous peoples of Brazil living near the Xingu River. They have many cultural similarities despite their different ethnologies. Xingu people represent fifteen tribes and all four of Brazil's indigenous language groups, but they share similar belief systems, rituals and ceremonies.
The Upper Xingu region was heavily populated prior to European and African contact. Densely populated settlements developed from 1200 to 1600 CE. Ancient roads and bridges linked communities were often surrounded by ditches or moats. The villages were pre-planned and featured circular plazas. Archaeologists have unearthed 19 villages so far.
Kuikuro oral history says European slavers arrived in the Xingu region around 1750. Xinuguano population was estimated in the tens of thousands but was dramatically reduced by diseases and slavery by Europeans. In the centuries since the penetration of the Europeans into South America, the Xingu fled from different regions to escape modernization and cultural assimilation. Nonetheless settlers made it up as far as the upper run of the Rio Xingu. By the end of the 19th century, about 3,000 natives lived at the Alto Xingu, where their current political status has kept them protected against European intruders. By the mid twentieth century this number had been reduced by foreign epidemic diseases such as flu, measles, smallpox and malaria to less than 1,000. Only an estimated 500 Xingu peoples were alive in the 1950s.

Brazil - a new era (long version)
Brazil is the 10th largest economy in the world, representing 75% of Mercosurs GDP and accounting for around 1.5 % of world trade over the last 20 years. It is the main player in South America, with over half of the regions GDP and population. For the EU, Brazil is the most important market in South America. Relations go both ways - Brazilian exports to the EU have seen a steady increase and have doubled in 5 years. But EU - Brazil relations go beyond economic trade; they share common goals on issues like climate change and other key environmental challenges.

Water POLLUTION Poses HEALTH RISK for BRAZIL 2016 OLYMPICS
Brazil's major and medium size metropolitan areas face increasing problems of water pollution. Coastal cities such as Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Recife suffer effects of upstream residential and industrial sewage contaminating feeder rivers, lakes, and the ocean. In 2000, only 35% of collected wastewater received any treatment. For example, the Tietê River, which runs through the São Paulo metropolitan area (17 million inhabitants), has returned to its 1990 pollution levels. Despite the support from the IDB, the World Bank and Caixa Econômica Federal in a US$400 million clean up effort, the level of dissolved oxygen has returned to the critical level of 1990 at 0 mg per liter due to increased levels of unregulated sewerage, phosphorus, and ammonia nitrogen discharged into the river.

Recife is the four-teen-largest metropolitan area in Brazil with 3,743,854 inhabitants (2012), the largest metropolitan area of the North/Northeast Regions, the 3th-largest metropolitan influence area in Brazil, and the capital and largest city of the state of Pernambuco. The population of the city proper was 1,555,039 in 2012.
Recife is located where the Beberibe River meets the Capibaribe River to flow into the Atlantic Ocean. It is a major port on the Atlantic Ocean. Its name is an allusion to the stone reefs that are present by the city's shores. The many rivers, small islands and over 50 bridges found in Recife city center characterize its geography and gives it the moniker of the "Brazilian Venice." As of 2010, it is the capital city with the highest HDI in Northeast Brazil.
The Metropolitan Region of Recife is the main industrial zone of the State of Pernambuco; most relevant products are those derived from cane (sugar and ethanol), ships, oil platforms, electronics, and others; thanks to the fiscal incentives of government, many industrial enterprises were started in the 1970s and 1980s. Recife has a tradition of being the most important commercial center of the North/Northeastern region of Brazil with more than 52,500 business enterprises in Recife itself plus 32,500 in the Metro Area which totals more than 85,000.
A combination of a large supply of labor and significant private investments turned Recife into Brazil's second largest medical center (second only to São Paulo); modern hospitals with state-of-the-art equipment receive patients from several neighboring States.
Like all other cities in the Northeast, Recife is developing its tourist sector. The beach of Porto de Galinhas, 60 kilometers (37 mi) south of the city, has been repeatedly awarded the title of best beach in Brazil and has drawn many tourists, and the Historic Centre of the Town of Olinda, 7 kilometers (4.3 mi) north of the city, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1982.[8] Recife's infrastructure is among the most developed in Brazil for travellers and business people, though there is wide room for improvement.
The city is also an educational center, and home to the Federal University of Pernambuco, the largest university in Pernambuco. Several Brazilian historical figures, such as the poet and abolitionist Castro Alves, moved to Recife to attain their education. Recife and Natal are the only Brazilian cities with direct flights to the islands of Fernando de Noronha, World Heritage Site.
The city is one of the host cities of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Additionally, Recife hosted the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup and 1950 FIFA World Cup.

For more information: http://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/nasas-grace-satellites-evaluate-drought-in-southeast-brazil
Empty water reservoirs, severe water rationing, and electrical blackouts are the new status quo in major cities across southeastern Brazil where the worst drought in 35 years has desiccated the region. A new NASA study estimates that the region has lost an average of 15 trillion gallons of water per year from 2012 to 2015. Eastern Brazil as a whole has lost on average 28 trillion gallons of water per year over the same time period.
Augusto Getirana, a hydrologist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, in Greenbelt, Maryland, analyzed the amount of water stored in aquifers and rivers across Brazil from 2002 to 2015, interested in understanding the depth of the current drought.
A new data visualization of 13 years of GRACE data shows the distribution of water across Brazil. Blues indicate increases in water, mostly occurring in the western regions of Brazil in the rainforest. Meanwhile red shows where water stores have declined, occurring mainly in the north and southeast. At the beginning of the data collection, in 2002, Brazil was just coming out of a drought that began in 2000. A wet period followed until 2012 when dry conditions set in again due to a lack of precipitation and higher than usual temperatures, according to supplemental data.
Southeastern Brazil was hardest hit by drought conditions, said Getirana. To make matters worse, Brazil relies on rivers that feed into reservoirs and dams that generate about 75 percent of the electrical power for the country. By September 2014, for example, the Cantareira reservoir system that provides water for 8.8 million people in São Paulo's metro region reported that it was filled to 10.7 percent of its total capacity, a situation that has led to major water rationing.

A traditional Olympic flame handover ceremony was held at the Panathenaic stadium in Athens, Wednesday, during which the President of the Rio 2016 Organising Committee Carlos Nuzman received the Olympic flame from the President of the Hellenic Olympic Committee Spyros Capralos.
The Olympic flame's 20,000 kilometre (12,400 mile) journey to Rio de Janeiro - the venue of the 2016 Olympic Games - took off in the Greek city of Olympia on April 21. The flame is due to begin a 95-day tour of the South American nation on May 3. Around 12,000 torchbearers are scheduled to carry the Olympic flame through 329 towns and cities in all five regions of Brazil. The Olympic torch relay will conclude at the opening ceremony at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro on August 5, when the official Olympic cauldron will be lit.

The Basic information about Brazil is covered first. Brazil has 190 million inhabitants. This is the 5th largest in the world. Brazil also has three levels of government. These levels include 1 Federal district, 26 states, and 5,561 municipalities. Brazil has five main geographical regions. These regions are the North, Northeast, Central-West, Southeast, and South. Brazil also has five main types of climate. These include hot and humid, mild and humid, cold and humid, dry, and polar and alpine.
The next topic discussed is water governance. According to UNDP (2013) Water Governance Facility (WGF), " Water governance is defined by the political, social, economic and administrative systems that are in place, and which directly or indirectly affect the use, development and management of water resources and the delivery of water service delivery at different levels of society."
Water governance deals with three main aspects. The first is the equity and efficiency in water. The second is the establishment and execution of water policies. This aspect deals with creating laws of water distribution, enforcing these laws, and giving punishment to those that do not follow the set policies. Water governance also deals with societal roles with water and distribution (private, government, and civil societies). This means that all levels of society are given a certain amount of water to be used, and that this limit must not be exceeded (UNDP,2013)
Next, the importance of water in sustaining life is discussed. For a single pound of food, 1,000 km of water is needed. Also, 2.5 thousand cubic meters of water are needed to sustain life (per person). Fifteen thousand square meters of water are used for the average standard of living (Folegatti, 2013).
Water in Brazil is a very critical issue. This is not just for Brazil's sake, but for the world's as well. Brazil contains 12% of the world's freshwater (Folegatti, 2013). For this reason, establishing and adhering to water policies is incredibly important.
Water governance in Brazil deals with three bodies of water. These are the Piracicaba River, the Capivari River (Rio de Capivari), and the Jundai River Basin, also known as the PCJ Basin (Folegatti, 2013).
There are many current conflicts arising when dealing with water use. The first is the development of water management systems. The next is community participation. It is hard to get all of the people in Brazil to adhere to the policies set for water distribution. Another conflict is the development of water management system. The law 9433/'97 and their tools for water system management also is a matter of conflict. This law is also known as the National Hydrological Resources Law. This law establishes guidelines for a regulatory framework of water. Also, another conflict is the testimony of participation on the basin. Water charge considering conservation is also a problem. With this, Brazil has to determine how much water can be used by its population and how much should be left untouched. If the wrong balance is left, Brazil will either have human fatalities or it will cause ecological damage on the natural regions of Brazil. The final conflict discussed is the water use in Brazil agriculture. This means balancing the use of water in agriculture to be able to sustain life (Folegatti, 2013)
Next, the Piracicaba River is discussed. The Piracicaba River is the confluence (union) of the Jaguari and Atibaia . The Piracibaba River is the highest source of economic development per capita of the country. A total of 7% of the Brazilian GDP (100 billion dollars) is due to the Piracicaba River (Folegatti, 2013).
Some of the problems facing water governance include dense forest disappearing, intense population, and too much pressure on natural resources (Folegatti, 2013). Population growth stress is one of the most pending matters that Brazil faces. In 30 years, the world is expected to have 3 million new inhabitants. This means 5.5 million more (94% urban). Also, 65% of population will be existing in 10 countries. Since the population rises more stress is put on the agriculture portion of Brazil's economy. As stated before, agriculture uses a huge amount of the water in Brazil (a total of 70%) (Folegatti, 2013) When population increases, the need to feed more individuals increases as well, causing more water to be used.
A huge water resource that can be used is in the Amazon. The Amazon contains 73% of the water (Folegatti, 2013) . This leads to region extremes. The north contains the most water by far, but only a small portion of the population (7%) The southeast has a greater population, yet trying to get water to these peoples is proving to be a difficult matter (Folegatti, 2013). A problem arises when trying to get densely populated areas the water that they need, especially when such resources are far away.

Ritual Dance Of The Xingu peoples - indigenous peoples of Brazil (Village of Yawalapiti)
Xingu peoples are indigenous peoples of Brazil living near the Xingu River. They have many cultural similarities despite their different ethnologies. Xingu people represent fifteen tribes and all four of Brazil's indigenous language groups, but they share similar belief systems, rituals and ceremonies.
The Yawalapiti live in the Xingu Indian Park, in Upper Xingu region along with Kiabi, Yudja and Suya tribes. The ways of life of these four tribes are quite similar despite having different languages. Their villages are situated around Lake Ipavu, which is six kilometres from the Kuluene River.
Typical to Upper Xingu tribes, the Yawalapiti village is circular in shape and has communal houses surrounding a square (uikúka) cleared of vegetation. In the center of the square is the men's house: frequented only by the men and where the sacred flutes are stored and played. It is in this house, or at river banks nearby, that the men congregate to talk in the twilight and where they paint themselves for ceremonies.
The men's house is similar to the residential houses. It only has one or two doors, always smaller than those of residences, which face the center square. The flutes are hung in the beams and during the day they may be played only in the house's interior; at night (after the women have retired) the men can play the flutes in the patio.
The Upper Xingu region was heavily populated prior to European and African contact. Densely populated settlements developed from 1200 to 1600 CE. Ancient roads and bridges linked communities that were often surrounded by ditches or moats. The villages were pre-planned and featured circular plazas. Archaeologists have unearthed 19 villages so far.
Kuikuro oral history says European slavers arrived in the Xingu region around 1750. Xinuguano population was estimated in the tens of thousands but was dramatically reduced by diseases and slavery by Europeans.[2] In the centuries since the penetration of the Europeans into South America, the Xingu fled from different regions to escape modernization and cultural assimilation. Nonetheless settlers made it up as far as the upper run of the Rio Xingu. By the end of the 19th century, about 3,000 natives lived at the Alto Xingu, where their current political status has kept them protected against European intruders. By the mid twentieth century this number had been reduced by foreign epidemic diseases such as flu, measles, smallpox and malaria to less than 1,000. Only an estimated 500 Xingu peoples were alive in the 1950s.[2]
The Brazilian Villas-Bôas brothers visited the area beginning in 1946, and pushed for the creation of the Parque Indígena do Xingu, eventually established in 1961. Their story is told in a film, Xingu. The number of Xingu living there in 32 settlements has risen again to over 3000 inhabitants, half of them younger than 15 years.
The Xingu living in this region have similar habits and social systems, despite different languages. Specifically, they consist of the following peoples: the Aweti, Kalapalo, Kamaiurá, Kayapó, Kuikuro, Matipu, Mehinako, Nahukuá, Suyá, Trumai, Wauja and Yawalapiti.

The mosquitoes spreading the Zika virus are causing an increasing health concern across regions of South America. Brazil's government says it will deploy 220,000 soldiers in its fight against mosquitoes spreading the Zika virus. The soldiers will go from home to home handing out leaflets on how to avoid the spread of Zika, which has been linked to thousands of babies being born with underdeveloped brains.

Brazil is the 10th largest economy in the world, representing 75% of Mercosurs GDP and accounting for around 1.5 % of world trade over the last 20 years. It is the main player in South America, with over half of the regions GDP and population. For the EU, Brazil is the most important market in South America. Relations go both ways - Brazilian exports to the EU have seen a steady increase and have doubled in 5 years. But EU - Brazil relations go beyond economic trade; they share common goals on issues like climate change and other key environmental challenges.

Brazil's major and medium size metropolitan areas face increasing problems of water pollution. Coastal cities such as Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Recife suffer effects of upstream residential and industrial sewage contaminating feeder rivers, lakes, and the ocean. In 2000, only 35% of collected wastewater received any treatment.
For example, the Tietê River, which runs through the São Paulo metropolitan area (17 million inhabitants), has returned to its 1990 pollution levels. Despite the support from the IDB, the World Bank and Caixa Econômica Federal in a US$400 million clean up effort, the level of dissolved oxygen has returned to the critical level of 1990 at 0 mg per liter due to increased levels of unregulated sewerage, phosphorus, and ammonia nitrogen discharged into the river. The state water company Sabesp projects that a minimum of R$3 billion (US$1.7bn) would be necessary to clean up the river.
The South and Southeast regions of Brazil experience water scarcity due to super exploitation and misuse of surface water resources, mostly attributable to heavy pollution from sewage, leaking landfills, and industrial waste. Bbc news fox new morning news network abc nbc news Bloomberg daily today breaking global world brazil Olympics 2016
Water pollution is also derived from ethanol production. Due to the size of the industry, its agroindustrial activity in growing, harvesting, and processing sugarcane generates water pollution from the application of fertilizers and agrochemicals, soil erosion, cane washing, fermentation, distillation, the energy producing units installed in mills and by other minor sources of waste water.
The two greatest sources of water pollution from ethanol production come from mills in the form of waste water from washing sugarcane stems prior to passing through mills, and vinasse, produced in distillation. These sources increase the biochemical oxygen demand in the waters where they are discharged which leads to the depletion of dissolved oxygen in the water and often causes anoxia. Legislation has banned the direct discharge of vinasse onto surface waters, leading it to be mixed with waste water from the sugarcane washing process to be reused as organic fertilizer on sugarcane fields. Despite this ban, some small sugarcane mills still discharge vinasse into streams and rivers due to a lack of transportation and application resources. Furthermore, vinasse is sometimes mishandled in storage and transport in mills.
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Olympic sports federations say they will be monitoring efforts to clean up the polluted waters around Rio de Janeiro to prevent health risks to athletes at the 2016 Games.
An Associated Press report this week showed nearly 70 percent of Rio's sewage is untreated and dumped into iconic beach areas like Copacabana and Ipanema and picturesque Guanabara Bay. Those waters will host several of Rio's events at the Olympics and Paralympics.
Rio organizers have been pressed by the International Olympic Committee to speed the pace of venue construction. Cleaning the water could add to delays in preparing for the games, which will cost about $15 billion in public and private money.

Brazil's Extreme Drought Seen From Space
Empty water reservoirs, severe water rationing, and electrical blackouts are the new status quo in major cities across southeastern Brazil where the worst drought in 35 years has desiccated the region. A new NASA study estimates that the region has lost an average of 15 trillion gallons of water per year from 2012 to 2015. Eastern Brazil as a whole has lost on average 28 trillion gallons of water per year over the same time period.
Augusto Getirana, a hydrologist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, in Greenbelt, Maryland, analyzed the amount of water stored in aquifers and rivers across Brazil from 2002 to 2015, interested in understanding the depth of the current drought.
A new data visualization of 13 years of GRACE data shows the distribution of water across Brazil. Blues indicate increases in water, mostly occurring in the western regions of Brazil in the rainforest. Meanwhile red and orange shows where water stores have declined, occurring mainly in the north and southeast. At the beginning of the data collection, in 2002, Brazil was just coming out of a drought that began in 2000. A wet period followed until 2012 when dry conditions set in again due to a lack of precipitation and higher than usual temperatures, according to supplemental data.
Southeastern Brazil was hardest hit by drought conditions, said Getirana. To make matters worse, Brazil relies on rivers that feed into reservoirs and dams that generate about 75 percent of the electrical power for the country. By September 2014, for example, the Cantareira reservoir system that provides water for 8.8 million people in São Paulo's metro region reported that it was filled to 10.7 percent of its total capacity, a situation that has led to major water rationing.
