Revealed from the depths
In 1969 the town of Igarata was submerged beneath a reservoir, the victim of a hydroelectric project to provide power to the surrounding area.
Now, as Brazil experiences its worst drought in 80 years, water levels in the Jaguari River have fallen 30 meters and the once sunken town is re-emerging from the depths.
