Last year it was even worse man.It's a combination of things.- We're in summer, and it rains a lot and very hard.- Poor people disregard (or just don't know) urban policy, and build houses were it's forbidden, due to the landscape. To aggravate things, the city hall knows about this, but turns a blind eye.- Those people have no clue to basic sanitation, so they consistantly throw trash on rivers and on the streets, and, again, in those places (vilas, slums if you will), garbage trucks don't go, and such. The state is absent in those places, due to drug traffic, which has calmed down significantly in rio, but also due to corruption and lazyness out of our politicians.Well, add all those things, you got huge ammount of rain, you got a terrain that doesn't support any constructions in it with people living in it and you got trash on the streets, preventing the water to reach the sewers.What you see are the consequences. This happens, with different degrees, every beggining of the year, both in Sao Paulo and in Rio, because of the geology of the southeaster reagion, and because of the overpopulation and lack of competent administration.(sorry if I used wrong terms, my English doesn't extend to such specific topics)</blockquote>
