The major water challenges in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo are pollution of drinking water reservoirs that are surrounded by built-up areas including slums, water scarcity and conflicts, inefficient water use, and flooding. Access to water supply and sanitation, as well as service quality for users, are not among the major water challenges.
As of 2011, 55% of the municipal wastewater in São Paulo is being treated compared to only 20% twenty years earlier.
