The distribution ofwater resources throughout the country and the increasing urbanization process that took place during the lastthree decades required the construction of reservoirs, hydroelectric projects, water distribution networks,irrigation systems and other hydraulic systems. Some of these, such as the Itaipu project -- the greatesthydropower project in the world -- became well-known worldwide. During the decade of the seventies this process of developing infrastructure reached its peak, mainly dueto international financial credit which was readily available at that time.
