BASINS AND FINANCIAL REDISTRIBUTION IN ACTION Consolidation of basin management, increasing resilience to the consequences of climate change and development of redistributive mechanisms, in support to the sustainable development in selected watersheds in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru Eco Cuencas Project Piracicaba, Capivari and Jundiaí Basins Ing.

Part of the springs is in the State of Minas Gerais and, therefore, run by State agencies, as well as the State of São Paulo in Brazil. Federal law is applied in others water courses that run from MG to SP.
