A worker is seen inside the Cuncas II tunnel near Mauriti
A worker is seen inside the Cuncas II tunnel that will link the canals being built to divert water from the Sao Francisco river for use in four drought-plagued states, a project that is three years behind schedule and has doubled in cost from the original estimate of $3.4 billion, near the city of Mauriti, Ceara state, January 28, 2014. In 2006, then President Luiz Inacio Lula de Silva, pushed through an idea that long-suffering residents of the region had been hearing about for more than a century. By 2010, Lula de Silva said, water would be pumped over hills and into a 477 kilometer-long network of canals, aqueducts and reservoirs to quench thirsty cities and farms in four states. Eight years later, and near the end of a first term for Lulas hand-picked successor as president, Dilma Rousseff, the project is only half built. Picture taken January 28, 2014.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a worker deep inside the Cuncas II tunnel, located near Mauriti in Ceara state, Brazil. The tunnel is part of an ambitious project aimed at diverting water from the Sao Francisco river to four drought-plagued states. However, this endeavor has faced numerous setbacks and challenges since its inception in 2006. The image portrays the dedication and resilience of these workers who have been tirelessly laboring for years to bring relief to long-suffering residents of the region. Despite being three years behind schedule and having doubled in cost from its original estimate of $3.4 billion, their determination remains unwavering. Former President Luiz Inacio Lula de Silva initially championed this idea, promising that by 2010 water would flow through a vast network of canals, aqueducts, and reservoirs spanning over 477 kilometers. However, as we approach the end of Dilma Rousseff's first term as president – Lula de Silva's hand-picked successor – only half of the project has been completed. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder not only of Brazil's ongoing struggle with drought but also highlights the complexities involved in large-scale infrastructure projects like this one. It symbolizes both hope for a better future and the challenges that lie ahead on Brazil's path towards securing water resources for its cities and farms.
