The fifth largest country in the world, Brazil occupies the lion's share of the land mass of the South American continent. This gigantic country occupies a total area of 3.3 million square miles (8.5 million sq km). It borders every South America country except Chile and Ecuador. Brazil is even larger than the US if we exclude Alaska. It's also larger than continental Europe if we exclude Russia. Brazil's geography is divided in four distinct regions: atlantic coast This long and narrow region (with over 4500 miles of coastline) lies from Maranhão state to the Uruguayan border. It extends from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the coastal mountains and central plateau on the west. On the northern states starting in Bahia, the region is flatter, containing calm oceans, sand dunes and palm and coconut trees.

Most of Brazil's large cities are on the Atlantic coast or the banks of the great rivers. The rain forests of the Amazon River basin occupy all the north and north central portions of Brazil. With the opening of the interior in the 1970s and 80s, these rain forests were heavily cut and burned for industrial purposes, farming, and grazing land. Beginning in the late 1980s, popular international movements, along with changes in government policy, began to reduce the rate of deforestation, but by the mid-1990s extensive burning was again occurring. The Amazon region includes the states of Amazonas Acre Roraima , and ; its chief city is Manaus . Although it is not as developed as other parts of Brazil, the Amazon region produces timber, rubber, and other forest products such as Brazil nuts and pharmaceutical plants. Gold mining, ecotourism, and fishing are also important. At the mouth of the Amazon is the city of

Country Ranks INDEX for Brazil History ... Feedback Brazil Sanitation and Public Utilities http://www.photius.com/countries/brazil/society/brazil_society_sanitation_and_publi~6922.html Sources: The Library of Congress Country Studies; CIA World Factbook Back to Brazil Society The National Sanitation Plan (Plano Nacional de SaneamentoPlanasa) of the 1970s did not keep pace with rapid urbanization in the development of safe drinking water supplies and waste disposal systems, particularly evident in the precarious metropolitan peripheries and favelas. Between 1988 and 1993, 87 percent had access to piped water and 72 percent to sewerage and waste disposal services, yet a 1989 study by the IBGE (Brazilian Geography and Statistics Institute) revealed that 92 percent of the municipalities did not treat domestic wastewater and only 27.6 percent of dwellings in a Northeast metropolis were linked to a sewerage system that passed quality standards. The rural population receives far fewer water and sanitation services than its urban counterparts. Ninety-five percent of those in urban areas had adequate water supply during the 1988-93 period, as compared with 61 percent of rural dwellers; the levels for disposal systems were 84 percent and 32 percent, respectively (the rural figures refer to wells and privies, not service). To a certain extent, the urban-rural incongruity in the provision of environmental sanitation accounts for the higher percentage of deaths from diarrheal diseases in the rural North and Northeast than in the urban areas. The lack or deficiency of basic sanitation services has been associated with the persistence of diarrhea as well as outbreaks of contagious diseases, including cholera.
