Natural mines make water sprout in the streets of Campinas Anyone who passes by the intersection of Coronel Quirino and Santos Dumont streets, in the Cambuí neighborhood, in Campinas (SP), finds the puddles of water that never disappear strange. No matter what the weather is like that day, it feels like the place has just been rained on. The situation has bothered lawyer Carolina Aguiar, who lives nearby. "My building filed a complaint with City Hall, it's been over a year. And nothing, we haven't seen any movement, we haven't had any feedback," he said. Sanasa carried out an inspection at the intersection and verified that the pooled water comes from an underground mine, which is pumped by buildings and released onto public roads. ?

According to professor and master in urban planning João Verde, when it rains, part of the water infiltrates the land and accumulates in the water table, which moves and returns to the surface. When it returns to the surface, there are no paths for this water to drain away. "The soil is soaked, the water table rises to the level where it reaches the surface and water starts to spring up in certain places", he explained. "Cambuí practically does not have a drainage network, especially in the higher streets, Coronel Quirino, for example. There is a good section of Coronel Quirino that fills up during heavy rains, everything becomes flooded", he added. In a statement, the City Hall said that it is studying solutions for improving specific points in the Cambuí drainage network, but at the moment it is not possible to provide a deadline. The administration also highlighted that new developments must provide for the interconnection of the underground drainage system to the public network, to avoid releasing water directly onto public roads. Water that "springs" from the asphalt creates puddles on Cambuí street Reproduction/EPTV Vila Itapura On Rua Passos, in Vila Itapura, the report from EPTV, a TV Globo affiliate, identified that the continuous flow comes from the basement of a condominium, from where the liquid is pumped onto the road. A person who did not want to be identified said that the situation has also caused puddles in the street. "There's always water there, there's always this stagnant water," he said. Gardener Marco Antônio Simões, who works in the condominium from where the water is pumped, stated that the process is inevitable. "This is a water mine from the building's excavation. It's natural water, so it has to leave, because it can't stay inside the building", he explained. João Verde pointed out that a possible solution is the reuse of water. "This water can be consumed for washing floors, sidewalks, supplying plants, even for use in flushing toilets", he suggested.
