Financial sustainability based on budgetary allocations of local and regional authorities

Allocation of a percentage of departmental and municipal budgets to water conservation.

National law that declares of public interest the areas of strategic importance for the conservation of water resources that supply water to municipal and district aqueducts, for which the departments and municipalities must allocate a percentage of no less than 1% of their income for the acquisition and maintenance of such areas or to finance payment schemes for environmental services.

A complement between political will and regulatory framework is necessary for financing to be consolidated into concrete actions.
