Sao Paulo Brazil's Tiete River is still stinking and filthy as it flows darkly through Sao Paulo. But not for much longer. Today 55% of the city's sewage is treated; by 2018, 85% should be. The state governor, Geraldo Alckmin, is trying to get the 35 municipalities in the Tiete's basin to co-operate: until 2010 Guarulhos, a satellite city of 1.2m people, treated not a drop of its sewage. Sao Paulo's pollution now reaches only as far as Salto, 100km downstream. By 2018, says Monica Porto, a water-quality expert at the University of Sao Paulo, the benefits should be visible--and sniffable--in the city itself.
