February 2018 update
The city was severely impacted by Samarco’s tailings. In the pictures below, you can see the actions/results of the armouring and vegetation to stabilise margin and reduce erosion. You can also see the riverside part of the town, which was almost completely rebuilt after the dam collapse. Being Riverside, the square was completely rebuilt and was delivered back to the town’s community.
Look for the portal to the square, a structure that has become a symbol of the destruction (how high the tailings reached), and also of the reconstruction of the town.
