abstract = "Although Brazil has an abundance of water resources, boasting 13%
of the available fresh water of the planet (ANA, 2017), its
distribution is naturally unequal. Water availability in Brazil
depends largely on the climate and therefore, the risks of climate
change, whether of anthropogenic or natural origin, could threaten
supplies (Marengo, 2008). Population and demand for water in the
SPMA are increasing. Such threshold situation has consequences to
the availability and use of this resource (Gaviolli, 2013).
Between 2014 and 2015, the Greater S{\~a}o Paulo experienced a
severe drought, the worst in its history. Its main water systems
were left depleted and with the lowest water levels ever recorded
(ANA, 2015). Daily water rationing became part of the routine for
many inhabitants of the region. Since then, more reservoirs have
been under construction to capture more water in order to ensure
water provision to the population, raising questions of whether
technical solutions are preferred rather than a more sustainable
management of the water resources. The watersheds within the
S{\~a}o Paulo Metropolitan Area (SPMA) supply water to most
reservoirs in the region. The state watershed plan lays out a set
of strict constraints in legislation in order to protect and
restore the watersheds, leaving the populations from those areas
unable to develop economically or socially.",
