Description
The idea of managing freshwater by river basins sounds rational, but the goals of its exponents vary widely. The contrasting stories of river basin organization in the Piracicaba basin in São Paulo and Minas Gerais, Brazil, and the São Francisco River basin that flows through six states in the northeast and the federal district illustrate this complexity.
