São Francisco River infrastructure development

Overview

Infrastructure projects involving the São Francisco River in Brazil are advancing through different developmental stages.

In the state of Ceará, the Ceará Water Belt—a 145-kilometre concrete canal project initiated in 2013—is nearing completion. The project is approximately 92% finished and aims to transport water from the São Francisco River to the semi-arid interior to support five million people and regional agriculture.

Simultaneously, the Federal Port Authority of Brazil (Codeba) and the Ministry of Integration and Regional Development (MIDR) are working to reactivate the São Francisco Waterway. This initiative involves a proposed R$ 6 billion investment to improve navigability and river basin revitalization. An initial phase in Bom Jesus da Lapa, focused on studies and bioengineering, is expected to require approximately R$ 130 million.
