The Western United States is not the only region of the world that is currently suffering under chronic drought conditions. The largest country in South America — Brazil — is also experiencing drought, and its biggest city is two months away from running out of water entirely.
As reported by Reuters, the Brazilian mega-city of Sao Paulo, where 20 million people reside, has about one month’s worth of a guaranteed water supply, as city officials have begun tapping into the second of three emergency reserves.
Reuters further noted:

This is the first time the state has resorted to using the reserves, experts say.
