巴西和秘鲁将合作共同开发秘鲁北部查奥河流域20万公顷的灌区。在这耗资3亿美元的项目中,绝大部分的渠化工程将由巴西的工程巨头Norberto Od-ebrecht承担。两国在这新开发区将经营一些工程项目,重点是生产经济作物。为了增加可供灌溉用的水量,桑塔河将被改道流入查臭河流域。 Brazil and Peru will work together to develop 200,000 hectares of irrigation districts in the Chaou River basin in northern Peru. Of this $ 300 million project, most of the canalization project will be undertaken by Brazilian engineering giant Norberto Od-ebrecht. The two countries will operate a number of construction projects in this new development zone, with a focus on the production of cash crops. In order to increase the amount of water available for irrigation, the Santana River will be redirected into the stinking river basin.
