| Abstract | The aim of this work was to estimate the monetary cost of increasing water supply due to a change in current land use, in order to establish the minimum compensation costs for a future System of Payments for Environmental Services in the Upper Watershed of the Sauce Grande River. The work involved three steps: simulation of the infiltration for different rainfalls applying the hydrologic model HEC- HMS, calculation of the cost of changing the productive systems and estimation of the cost of increasing water supply. Results consisted of the thematic maps needed for simula- tions and the tables that showed variation between rainfalls with different recurrence intervals and different land use. For the recurrence of 1:1 the cost of opportunity was U$S 1.21.m -3 , for the recurrence of 1:3 was U$S 0.73.m -3 and the lowest cost found was of U$S 0.62.m -3 . We concluded that these costs will support future planning on the use of water resource within a system of Payments for Environmental Services, but it is also important to considerate that a con- tingent valuation is needed in order to establish the peoples will to pay for the use of this resource in the watershed. |
