Area of Interest/ Area of
Operations
Sao Francisco River
The Sao Francisco river is approx 10
Hours by car from Brasilia or about 1
hour by plane.
The project covers an area of over5 450
km with 12 project sites along the river.
Partnership Purpose
 Transfer of knowledge between Brazil and the United States
 Project Purpose: Leverage USACE expertise to develop bank stabilization
and navigation projects along the São Francisco River
 Relationship building between Brazil and the United States
