Brazil cistern program up for major prize

In The End of the River, I describe the "Million Cisterns" program of the Government of Brazil. Its aim is to build a million low-tech, 16 million litre concrete cisterns for rural families. I think it's a fantastic program: for $500, a family gets clean, free water.

Now the Million Cistern Program is up for a prestigious award in Brazil - the linked article is in Portuguese, but you'll get the idea.
