In its second phase, the project focuses on the hydraulic dynamics of the Pantanal, illustrating how human activities impact the waters and riparian communities. The emphasis is on the interaction between natural aesthetics, ecological vulnerability, and the challenges faced by local residents in water management.

The Pantanal relies on the health of its watercourses to maintain its ecological balance. The emphasis on water-related issues highlights significant environmental problems, such as a 61% reduction in the water surface area of the Pantanal over the last 30 years.

This decrease not only jeopardizes biodiversity but also the way of life of the Pantanal inhabitants, deeply connected to the region's waters. Practices such as deforestation, intensive agriculture, the construction of hydroelectric plants, and mining activities alter the water regime of the Pantanal, affecting river flow and vital seasonal flooding crucial to the health of aquatic habitats. In addition to the damage to flora and fauna, these changes threaten the survival of cultural traditions, such as the Pantanal cattle drives that rely on flooded plains for cattle management.
