A Cidade das Águas Claras

On June 18, 2010, twenty-one municipalities were affected by floods in Alagoas. Thousands of families lost everything when the river level rose six meters, invaded streets and caused unprecedented damage in the region. The city of Branquinha was one of the most affected, with 80% of its territory flooded by water. All public buildings, schools and the library were destroyed. Now the city will be built in another place and of its history only what remains in the memory of its residents.
