Águas Claras is an administrative region in the Federal District in Brazil.
Etymology
The region's name, Portuguese for clear waters, references to the stream within the region which flows into Paranoá Lake.[citation needed]
History
In December 1992, District Law No. 385 authorized the implementation of Águas Claras, then part of Taguatinga; its occupation plan was approved later that same year.[citation needed] Designed by architect and urbanist Paulo Zimbres, Águas Claras began construction shortly afterwards. It was separated from Taguatinga as the Federal District's twentieth administrative region on May 6 2003, through District Law No. 3153.[citation needed]
The neighborhood was notable for its accelerated growth, with large and diversified real estate developments.[citation needed]
Águas Claras has an area of approximately 31.5 km² [citation needed] and a population of just over 135 thousand.[1]
