ow, sorry, I forgot to say that it is a good option as well to buy
pieces of land on water reserves.
you can find places with natural water resources (water mining from
the earth and rocks) all around chapada diamantina for good prices as
well (4.000 reais 4 ha). it is a good oportunitty to buy lands with
growin water before coca-cola or nestlé....
of course, as an art project, and with a kind of contract that the
land has no owner (in brazil called APA - Area de Proteção Ambiental),
that cannot be explorated and so on...
maybe it is time on thinking how we can really save the little piece
of world that we still have...
