- Abstract
Freshwater shortages are one of the main concerns of the 21st century. The latest projections by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) foresee that for the brazilian midwest, there should be an increase in the area planted to agriculture, a decrease in forest areas, an increase in temperature and a change in the frequency and magnitude of floods and droughts. These changes profoundly affect the hydrological cycle and consequently the availability of water for human consumption. In the summer of 2016/2017, the Federal District had the greatest water crisis in its history, where the volume of the reservoir responsible for supplying more than half the population was below 10%. In this sense, the main objective of the present study was to provide updated information on payment for environmental services as an important instrument to mitigate climate change, reducing soil use change processes, and suggesting it as an instrument to promote improvements in water supply in the Descoberto watershed.
