The many rivers of Brazil greatly benefit the country in providing a great source of energy, specifically hydroelectric energy. In the more industrialized part of Brazil (the south), the rivers flowing from the Brazilian Highlands are abruptly occupied by many hydroelectric power sources. This large portion of energy is good for the nearby metropolitan areas, and the hydroelectric dams were clearly successful in their mission to encourage industrialization and economic improvement. A negative factor to the series of hydroelectric dams in the south, and limited amount in the north creates a sense of division between the two areas. The dam holding back the water in the fertile valley could irritate farmers by not irrigating the area.
Mining has become a larger occupation in Brazil because they have numerous resources in which the country is rich in. Uranium, coal, copper, and tin, all major resources have attracted a larger workforce and impacted their 1/3 of population in manufacturing. These resources, specifically, have developed the economy of Brazil and increased the level of development of the country.
