Institutional and Policy Analysis of River Basin Management : The Alto-Tietê River Basin, São Paulo, Brazil
The authors describe and analyze river basin management in the most intensely urbanized and industrialized region of Brazil. The area covered by the Alto Tiete basin is almost coterminous with the Metropolitan Region of Sao Paulo. With a drainage area of 5,985 square kilometers (2.4 percent of the s...
