Understand How the Construction of the Desalination Plant in Ceará Can Take Down the Internet of Brazil. Construction Project Requires Removal of 120 Families and Causes Alarm in the Telecommunications Sector.

Have you ever imagined that a construction could take down the internet across Brazil? That’s right, the desalination plant being built at Praia do Futuro, in Fortaleza, is causing a stir! The relocation of Dessal do Ceará, the desalination plant that promises to solve water issues, will require significant changes to the land.

The new project plans to be built along the seashore, which will result in the removal of 120 families currently living in the area. The proximity to submarine cables, responsible for over 90% of data processing in all of South America, raises concerns about potential impacts on Brazilian internet.

Construction of the Desalination Plant at Praia do Futuro

“We found an agreement that reconciles the terms of constructing the desalination plant at Praia do Futuro while also accommodating the investment from the companies that will continue in Ceará”, declared Governor Elmano de Freitas.

Interests of the People of Ceará Addressed

Representatives of the telecommunications sector celebrated the decision to change the location of the construction. “We managed to find a term in which the interest of the people of Ceará is addressed in the sense of having, in the near future, the water security that is so dreamed of in the State, and the protection of the telecommunications infrastructure that currently exists at Praia do Futuro”, commented Luiz Henrique Barbosa, executive president of TelComp.

Seawater Collection Will Take Place Just 567 Meters from the Submarine Cables

However, concerns persist. The seawater collection will take place just 567 meters from the submarine cables, according to Diário do Nordeste. While market sources consider this distance safe, there is still fear that the construction could interfere with data transmission.

Works Start in 2025

The works are expected to begin between late 2024 and early 2025. The total investment for the project is R$ 518.6 million, but updated values with the change of location have not yet been disclosed.

Pelo que li do projeto, trata se de um empreendimento a ser executado por um consórcio de empresas liderado pelo Emirados, reunindo expertise de elevada qualificação tecnologica no setor de dessalinização.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

Bricklayers off the scaffolding? New system uses autonomous drones to position bricks and apply adhesive in the air, creating walls with two flying robots working as a team.

Noise in the sky frightened residents: NASA confirms that a meteor exploded over New England with a force equivalent to 230 tons of TNT

The paycheck that seemed impossible: São José employee receives R$ 7.94 after legal strike, while deductions by the City Hall affect over a thousand employees and become a target of inquiry in the City Council.

With only R$ 50 in his pocket and a dream, the 26-year-old Tocantins native Willian Gomes left Tocantins and has already cycled over 4,000 kilometers towards Ushuaia, at the southern tip of Argentina, without accepting a single ride in eight months.

Has the war with artificial intelligence already begun? The US Army tests armed robots in the Moroccan desert, uses drones with explosives, and showcases a system capable of reducing military decisions from hours to just 3 minutes.

The invisible flaw that protects banks, passwords, and messages may be numbered after a quantum experiment transforms imperfect randomness into numbers impossible to predict.
