An aerial view shows illegally built slums on the border of the polluted water of Billings reservoir in Sao Paulo February 12, 2015. According to local media, the Billings dam supplies 1.6 million people in the Greater ABC region of Greater Sao Paulo and the state government wants to treat the water to be adequate for human consumption, adding to the complexity of securing safe water supply during the drought. Brazil is facing its worst drought in 80 years and its economy is already expected to post zero growth this year. Worse yet, since Brazil depends on hydroelectric dams for about three quarters of its electricity, power shortages are also possible due to the drought, federal officials have said.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures the stark reality of illegally built slums situated on the edge of the polluted waters of Billings reservoir in Sao Paulo. The photograph, taken by Paulo Whitaker on February 12,2015, reveals a distressing scene that highlights the complex challenges faced by Brazil during its worst drought in 80 years. The Billings dam serves as a vital water source for approximately 1.6 million people residing in Greater ABC region and Greater Sao Paulo. However, with the state government aiming to treat this water for human consumption amidst rising concerns about pollution, ensuring a safe water supply becomes an even more intricate task. Brazil's economy is already expected to experience zero growth due to various factors including this severe drought. Moreover, since hydroelectric dams generate around three-quarters of Brazil's electricity, power shortages are also looming as potential consequences of this prolonged dry spell. Whitaker's photograph not only sheds light on the dire living conditions within these illegal slums but also serves as a reminder of how intertwined environmental issues can have far-reaching implications on multiple aspects of society. It stands as a powerful visual representation urging us to address both immediate humanitarian needs and long-term sustainability measures required to combat such crises effectively.
