Principal e maior reservatório de São Paulo, o Sistema Cantareira encerrou o mês de setembro com 41,1% do seu volume útil armazenado e, com isso, passará a operar na faixa de atenção a partir desta quinta-feira (1). A faixa de atenção é estabelecida quando o nível do reservatório fica entre 40% e 60%. Neste ano, o Cantareira vinha apresentando um nível de armazenamento preocupante, mas com as chuvas recordes de setembro conseguiu melhorar a sua capacidade. Notícias relacionadas:Sistema Cantareira, em São Paulo, passa a operar na faixa de alerta .Inmet: calor acima da média e chuvas irregulares devem marcar outubro.Calor e chuvas levam Defesa Civil a emitir 34 alertas em São Paulo .No final de agosto, por exemplo, seu volume útil armazenado estava em 32,99%, nível considerado de alerta. Como seu volume agora está na faixa de atenção, a Agência Nacional de Águas e Saneamento Básico (ANA) e a Agência de Águas do Estado de São Paulo (SP Águas) autorizaram a Sabesp, companhia privada que administra o sistema, a retirar até 31 metros cúbicos por segundo (m³/s) do reservatório. Antes, na faixa de alerta, a Sabesp poderia captar até 27 metros cúbicos por segundo do Sistema Cantareira. Em condições de normalidade, essa captação pode chegar a 33m³/s. Resolução A ANA e a SP Águas acompanham diariamente os dados de níveis, vazões e armazenamento do reservatório. Essa medida obedece critérios que foram definidos pela Resolução Conjunta nº 925/2017, elaborada logo após a crise hídrica ocorrida no estado nos anos de 2014 e de 2015. Essa resolução estabelece que a captação de água do Sistema Cantareira seja condicionada ao nível de armazenamento de água do manancial observada no último dia de cada mês. Para tanto, foram criadas cinco faixas: normal, quando o nível do reservatório é igual ou maior que 60%; atenção, quando é igual ou maior que 40% e menor que 60%; alerta, quando está maior que 30% e menor que 40%; restrição, quando é maior que 20% e menor que 30%; e especial, quando o volume acumulado é menor que 20%. São essas faixas que orientam os limites de retirada de água do sistema. Sistema O Sistema Cantareira é composto por cinco reservatórios interligados - Jaguari, Jacareí, Cachoeira, Atibainha e Paiva Castro - com volume útil total de 981,56 bilhões de litros. Desde 2018, conta também com a interligação entre a represa Jaguari, no Rio Paraíba do Sul, e a Represa Atibainha. O sistema abastece cerca de metade da população da região metropolitana de São Paulo e, segundo a ANA, contribui ainda para o atendimento dos usos múltiplos da água, com destaque para o abastecimento de Campinas, nas bacias dos rios Piracicaba, Capivari e Jundiaí. Embora seus reservatórios estejam localizados integralmente em território paulista, parte das águas que os alimentam provém de rios de domínio da União, por terem nascentes e trechos no estado de Minas Gerais, compondo a bacia dos rios Piracicaba, Capivari e Jundiaí.
