Rio dos Sinos

The Caí River (Portuguese pronunciation: [kaˈi]) is a river of Rio Grande do Sul state in southern Brazil. It is a tributary of the Jacuí River, just above the junction with the Guaíba.

The Jacuí Delta (Portuguese: Delta do Jacuí) is a hydrographic complex of islands (archipelago), canals, swamps and ponds in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, formed by the meeting of the Jacuí, Caí, Sinos and Gravataí rivers, whose waters constitute Lake Guaíba.Politically, the delta is a state environmental protection area that overlaps with a state conservation unit, the Jacuí Delta State Park. The Jacuí Delta Environmental Protection Area (APAEDJ) is located in the municipalities of Porto Alegre, Canoas, Nova Santa Rita, Triunfo, Charqueadas and Eldorado do Sul and totals 22,826.39 ha, while the park totals 14,242 hectares.The Jacuí Delta State Park has the Jacuí Delta State Park Management Plan (PEDJ), published in 2014 and approved by SEMA Ordinance No. 20 of February 22, 2017.The Jacuí Delta includes areas of the Pampas and Atlantic Forest biomes and plays an important role in regulating the water regime of the Jacuí and Guaíba rivers. According to the PEDJ: "The wetlands inside the park are part of a larger set of humid areas that, especially in the central area of Rio Grande do Sul, form a strip of marshes and floodplains in a westerly direction, reaching up to the Ibicuí River, next to the Uruguay River, and in the east, northeast and southeast directions form the system of marshes and lagoons of the coastal plain".The eastern areas of the delta are urbanized. The urban centers of the municipalities of Triunfo, Eldorado do Sul and Charqueadas are located on the banks of the delta. Urban areas are also found in Porto Alegre, in the islands of Flores, Grande dos Marinheiros and Pintada. The Humaitá and Navegantes neighborhoods of the municipality of Porto Alegre were part of the deltaic system, but the implementation of the flood protection system in the 1970s (of which the Mauá Wall is part) eliminated their exposure to the deltaic water regime.

Canoas (Portuguese pronunciation: [kaˈnoɐs]), which earned city status in 1939, is a municipality in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. With more than 340,000 inhabitants, it is part of the Porto Alegre conurbation and has the second highest GDP in the state. It is also the third largest city in the state by population. Canoas boasts a strong manufacturing-based economy and is the home to Canoas Air Force Base - ALA3, one of the most important bases of the Brazilian Air Force. According to the IBGE, Brazil's Geography and Statistics Institute, Canoas currently has no rural areas, but it started as a village of large landowners. The first of them was conquistador Francisco Pinto Bandeira, who received from the Portuguese Crown, in 1740, an area north of the Gravataí River. History has that 1871 was the beginning of the village of Canoas, when the first section of the railway that would link Porto Alegre to São Leopoldo was inaugurated. Canoas was then part of the municipalities of Gravataí and São Sebastião do Caí. Soon large farms would lose space to small properties. After obtaining city status, Canoas experienced rapid growth, especially after 1945. At that time, it would be called a cidade-dormitório (Portuguese for 'bedroom city'), because thousands of people would commute to neighboring Porto Alegre to work. However, de-industrialisation in Porto Alegre, the setting-up of numerous manufacturing plants in Canoas and a strong demographic growth have reverted that situation and nowadays Canoas has a per capita GDP higher than Porto Alegre.
