The water ended up ending up at the energy substation when the Caí River flooded, which is about two kilometers away from the unit. Monitoring images from the substation showed river waters covering the area.
According to Eletrosul, despite the flooding, the substation operates within safety levels, through the company's Electrical System Operation Center, in Florianópolis (SC).
The company also informed that it continues to monitor the situation in real time to ensure that power outages do not occur in the State and that it also monitors the gradual reduction in water levels in the area. [/vc_column_text]

Just make a dam, mud, raise the earth around it and pump the water from the inside to the outside, there are no communicating vessels, simple and effective. At a time of extreme risk and high impact, with serious damage to the economy and daily life, generally in more than 52% of the state's municipalities, is this it? Let it happen and see?
