Abstract

Managing water resources is the most crucial challenge of the 21st century (UNESCO, 2018). Command and Control instruments, such as the 2012 Native Vegetation Protection Law, impose forest conservation and restoration mechanisms in order to protect water bodies, however, it is not enough to prevent deforestation (MELLO et al., 2018). Thus, Payments for Environmental Services (PES), a voluntary financial incentive, have been identified as a potential tool for adopting conservation practices to promote the protection of water resources and ensure public supply (SONE et al., 2019; LOPES et al., 2020). Thus, the main objective of this work is to assess how environmental command and control policies and financial incentive policies can be integrated as watershed management strategies to enhance the supply of water environmental services.
