Environmental-Economic Accounting for Water in Brazil
In a joint effort, the National Water Agency (ANA), the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and the Secretariat of Water Resources and Environmental Quality of the Ministry of the Environment (SRHQ/MMA) present the first results from the Environmental-Economic Accounts for Water (EEA-W) in Brazil. The consolidation of different databases, direct and indirect estimates of sectoral water demands, and methods used to organize the information, allowed for calculating EEA-W time series (assets, supplies, uses, and hybrid accounts) for Brazil in the period between 2013 and 2015.
