Abstract

Porto Alegre was a city colonized by Azoreans who settled on the shores of Lake Guaíba in the late 18th century. Over the course of two centuries, urban planning policies filled in areas bordering the lake with the intention of tripling the size of the Historic Center and surrounding neighborhoods.

In the May 2024 flood, one of the areas most affected by the waters that advanced in the city were those where there were landfills, such as the neighborhoods of Centro Histórico, Cidade Baixa and Menino Deus. This essay is a brief inventory that aimed to document the muddy water marks on iconic and residential buildings in these central regions of the capital of Rio Grande do Sul shortly after the waters were drained, when the Guaíba receded and returned to its normal bank.
