REGULAMENTATION OF PAYMENT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES ON EXTREMA, MG

Abstract

This study aimed to present the implementation of the regulamentation of payment for environmental services on Extrema - MG. Was also carried out a simulation of the proposed methodology for estimating the environmental benefits through the financial rewards of the "water provider program" by the ANA, to estimate the abatement of erosion and sedimentation in the Posses watershed. The results showed that deployment of the "Conservative Water" is a reality by Law 2.100/05 and its regulations seek to ensure social and environmental sustainability through the management and practices implemented by means of payment for environmental services. Finally, the reduction in average sedimentation basin would be 60%, resulting in an average benefit of R$ 75.00 / ha year.
