Environmental policy and administrative management

Among other problems, water scarcity and deficiencies in water management, are the major problems, local farmers face in Matinho, Boca Larga community. Construction of a small dam will entail mobilizing roughly 3.000 m3 of water upon arrival of the first rains between July and September. Best management practices will be implemented, such as creation of a water management committee which will increase transparency in water distribution and uses in Boca Larga. The project will benefit farmers, small scale herders and residents of Matinho.
