Original review summary

The review says the Ebap 5 interruption on May 29 was not deliberate: the DMAE attributed it to a temporary diesel-supply problem affecting the generator, resolved that same day. It also says record rainfall and failures in Porto Alegre’s flood-protection structures—not sabotage of the pumps—contributed to the floods.[S1]
