Pre-Assessment Activity #2 INTERVENTION MAPPING – Background information: Intervention options Water Regulation Water Yield Nutrient Load Sediment Reduction Flood Mitigation Groundwater recharge Ecosystem Service Targeted habitat protection Broad term for all conservation activities to protect target ecosystems. Includes preventative measures (e. g. easements, land rentals, fencing out cattle, funding of park guards) to reduce future adverse land use changes. X X X Revegetation / reforestation Restoration of native habitat via either active planting (e. g. seedlings) or passive measures (creating suitable enabling environment for regeneration). X X X Riparian restoration Restoring natural habitat that act as interface between land water along the banks of a river, stream, or lake. Often referred to as ‘riparian buffers’. X X Wetland restoration Re-establishment of the hydrology, plants and soils of former or degraded wetlands. May also involve installation of new wetlands to offset losses or mimic natural wetland functions X X Mechanical thinning Reduction in invasive alien plants and/or harmful levels of biomass (e. g. overly dense forests) via selective mechanical removal (e. g. chainsaw, loppers) X X Controlled burns Reduction in invasive alien plants and/or harmful levels of biomass (e. g. overly dense forests) via controlled targeted burns. X X Agricultural best management practices (BMPs) Land management changes that reduce harm of agricultural activities. Related measures include: cover crops, precision fertilizer application, irrigation efficiency, agroforestry and contour farming. X X Ranching best management practices (BMPs) Practices that reduce harm associated with ranching. Related measures include silvopastoral schemes, range structures (e. g. access roads, fencing), land treatment e. g. (range seeding, brush management), & rotational grazing.

U SCENARIO – CAMBORIU EXAMPLE: CAMBORIÚ SHOULD BE FULLY DEVELOPED IN CONSULTATION WITH YOUR BENEFICIARY Consideration Influence Level Other Inputs Value / Note Pasture to Bare Low Timeframe 2012 – 2025; estimated benefits until 2045. Bare to Pasture Medium Rice to Pasture Medium Forest to Pasture Medium Pasture to Rice Low Pasture to Impervious Medium Pasture to Plantation High Pasture to Forest High Climate change At this time, the program is expected to have enrolled the lands considered most crucial for sediment control whose owners are interested in participating in the program, and many of the interventions are expected to have attained their full functionality. Resolution 1 meter land-use-land-cover data High-resolution land-use-land-cover data from 2004 to 2012, expected to be representative of the nearto medium-term future Discount rate 3. 85% (Brazil’s social discount rate) Discounted all costs and benefits of the PWS program through 2045 to their 2014 present value equivalents. Ecosystem Service Metric Concentration of total suspended solids (TSS) at treatment plant intake Since the heavier sediment fraction settles in the intake channel prior to reaching the pumping station, the fraction reaching the treatment plant is composed almost exclusively of suspended solids. High (used to calibrate model) Land cover change in the study area during 2003 -2012; gross. (Kroeger et al, 2017) Predicted 2012 -2025 land cover change in study area, assuming no PWS program (Kroeger et al, 2017) 13

Pre-Assessment Activity #4 ROI & CO-BENEFITS MAPPING – Background information: ROI assessment options The below three categories represent three of the most common valuation methods for calculating the ROI of water infrastructure: Valuation Method Description Example: Flood risk mitigation Welfare gain (profit; net benefit) Total value of ecosystem service gains associated with economic activity generated by service gains Increased net farm income due to increased irrigation water availability during growing season Avoided cost Difference in cost compared to producing the same ecosystem service gain using the next-best alternative (i. e. , cost comparison among alternatives providing the same ecosystem service quantity & quality gains) Costs of improved levee system downstream; cost of relocation or flood-proofing of assets at risk; cost of repairing damaged assets; business interruption losses Willingness to pay Amount that a population would be willing to pay for the physical benefit within the study area Public willingness to pay to avoid flooding 19
