Table 1. Water withdraw by the sugarcane industry in major watersheds of the state of São Paulo with respective information about their area, population, and the relative proportion of the sugarcane industry withdraw in relation to the industrial water use and in relation to the total water use of each basin. Etanol/Q7, 10 and Total/Q7, 10 represents the ratio between the water withdraw by the sugarcane industry in a specific basin and the total withdraw of that basin in relation to the minimum weekly discharge over a 10-year return period (Q7, 10) of that basin. The water use is considered critical in watersheds that the ratio Total/Q7, 10 are higher than 50% (indicated by **).
