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.

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.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

Federal Police helicopter drops 12,000 kg of seeds in Brazil in an aerial reforestation operation that transforms seed bags into green rain and aims to plant 100 million trees by 2030, starting with areas in Paraná.

Elderly individuals who intend to drive in Brazil should be aware of a new requirement involving the CNH.

The São Paulo Rodoanel enters the final stretch of the section that has been missing for years and promises to complete the largest ring road in the country.

Giant Serie A club of the Brasileirão undergoes mass layoffs, putting up to 90 people out on the street and promoting a “silent reorganization” after the arrival of the SAF, affecting strategic sectors and causing a strong atmosphere of tension behind the scenes of Brazilian football.
