Brazil São Francisco transposition to double capacity with Chinese pumps

Brazil's Minister of Regional Integration, Waldez Góes, will visit China in December to inspect pumps that will double water flow through the North Axis of the São Francisco River transposition project. Once installed, the infrastructure will operate at 50% capacity, up from 25%, marking a significant step in a long-delayed water supply project. The visit underscores Brazil's reliance on Chinese equipment for critical infrastructure.
