Source text - Portuguese Prefário
Tudodo o que vivemos merece ser contado como história pessoal ou pública, mas existem aqueles momentos que, de tão intensos e relevantes, merecem a atenção de um livro para que as bibliotecas guardem suas páginas e permitam a perenidade do que é contado. A saga da construção e operação da Usina Hidrelétrica (UHE) Belo Monte é dessas emblemáticas situações que devem ser reveladas pormenorizadamente em capítulos. O lançamento deste livro é como se fosse o acionamento de uma turbina extra, dedicada exclusivamente a explicitar a importância para o país das outras 18 turbinas da Casa de Força Principal e das 6 da Casa de Força Complementar. E, mais do que isso. deixar o registro do que foi necessário fazer para instalar no coração da Amazônia, mais precisamente nos municípios de Altamira e Vitória do Xingu, ambos no Pará, a maior hidrelétrica do país 100% brasileira, um colosso de 11.233 megawatts.
É a história das aventuras dos primórdios do projeto, nos anos 1970, quando foram feitos os primeiros estudos das bacias da margem direita do Rio Amazonas: Araguaia, Tapajós, Tocantins e Xingu, sendo esta a primeira a ser esmiuçada. a partir de 1975, abrangendo uma área de 509 mil km2 Foram três anos de estudos feitos por 80 homens, incluindo rapelistas, que demarcaram o terreno a partir de 200 pontos pré-sinalizados, cada um do tamanho aproximado de um campo de futebol. A empreitada evoluiu de 47 potenciais áreas de barramento até no Xingu até chegar a Belo Monte. potenciais áreas de barramento no Xingu até chegar à de Belo Monte. Inúmeras reuniões com a comunidade da região e especialistas foram realizadas, com a consequente melhora na interlocução e o aprimoramento do projeto, transformado-o no maior processo de licenciamento ambiental da história do Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis (lbama).
Os estudos feitos ao longo de quase meio século resultaram em 38 volumes de informações dos mais variados aspectos ambientais da região - uma enciclopédia que é o mais aprofundado relatório sobre um empreendimento de geração hidrelétrica no Brasil. Se por um lado a longevidade fez postergar por anos o inicio da construção da UHE Belo Monte. por outro garantiu a excelência do projeto. que deixa um legado de inovações e soluções de engenharia que se tornaram referência para futuros empreendimentos de produção de energia elétrica. Um dos principais destaques foi a construção de um canal de derivação de 20 km. que alterou parte do fluxo da água do Rio Xingu e assim garantiu que nenhuma terra indígena fosse alagada pelo empreendimento.
Translation - English All that we live should be told as a personal or public story, but there are moments so intense and relevant that they deserve the attention of a book so that libraries can tuck their pages away and aUow them to go on being told forever. The saga of the construction and operation of the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP) is one of those emblematic situations that should be detailed in chapters. Launching this book is like triggering an extra turbine, dedicated exclusively to explaining the importance for the country of the other 18 turbines in the Main Powerhouse and 6 in the Supplementary Powerhouse. Even more, it is to leave a record of what was required to install the largest 100% Brazilian hydroelectric power plant - an 11,233 megawatt giant - in the heart of the Amazon, more precisely in the municipalities of Altamira and Vitoria do Xingu, both in Pará.
lt is the story of the project's adventures from the very beginning, in the 1970s, when the first studies of the basins on the right bank of the Amazon River were developed: Araguaia, Tapajos, Tocantins and Xingu, this being the first to be scrutinized, as of 1975, covering an area of 509,000 km2. Three years· of studies were conducted by 80 men, including rappelists, who mapped the terrain using 200 pre-marked points, each of which was about the size of a soccer field. The work evolved from 47 potential dam areas on the Xingu to Belo Monte. Numerous meetings with the surrounding community and specialists were held, with consequent improvements to communication and fine-tuning of the project, transforming it into the largest environmental licensing process in the history of the Brazilian lnstitute of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (lbama).
