Providing the water needed to produce food for more than 9 billion people by 2050 seems simple: agriculture must produce more food with less water. However, three complex issues are involved: First, water, food production and rural development do not have a simple correlation. Second, there are interactions between processes at local, basin and global scales. Third, change involves people in complex networks of institutions. The Challenge Program on Water and Food brings together agriculturalists, hydrologists and development specialists in a global-to-local programme that focuses on change through institutions. We believe that this scale, complexity and involvement are necessary to deliver plausible change.

Conflicting demands for food and water, exacerbated by increasing population, increase the risks of food insecurity, poverty and environmental damage in major river systems. Agriculture remains the predominant water user, but the linkage between water, agriculture and livelihoods is more complex than “water scarcity increases poverty”. The response of both agricultural and non-agricultural systems to increased pressure will affect livelihoods. Development will be constrained in closed basins if increased demand for irrigation deprives other users or if existing agricultural use constrains non-agricultural activities and in open basins if agriculture cannot feed an expanding or changing population or if the river system loses capacity due to degradation or over-exploitation.

This paper applies the principles of water-use accounts, developed in the first of the series, to the Sao Francisco basin in South America. The Sao Francisco Basin lies wholly within Brazil. There are several major dams and wetlands in the Basin. Net runoff is about 16% of total precipitation. Grassland is the most extensive land use, covering 59% of the Basin and uses 48% of the water. Rainfed agriculture covers 23% of the basin, but uses 14% of the water in the Basin. Forest and woodland cover 16% of the basin and use about 21% of the precipitation. Grassland covers much of the upper part of the Basin, consuming about 21% of the precipitation. Irrigated agriculture covers just about 2% of the Basin and uses about 2% of the water. Climate change, using an assumed change in increase in rainfall and evapotranspiration distribution, reduces flow at Juazeiro and storage in the Sobradinho reservoir. The transfer of water from the Sao Francisco Basin to the northeast of Brazil reduces annual average flow by 6% only. However, the combined impact of the planned diversions and drying due to climate change would be greater again.

Brazil is marked by its vastness and contrast in terms of availability and access to water. We select and provide a description of the water pricing experiences in place during the past 15 years at the Doce, Verde Grande, Paraiba do Sul, Piracicaba-Capivari-Jundiai (PCJ), and Sao Francisco River basins, which are under federal jurisdiction and, thus, under the responsibility of the Brazilian National Water Agency (Agencia Nacional de Aguas-ANA). The pioneer pricing system of the Paraiba do Sul River basin has been a reference for others throughout Brazil. Generally, water users are charged for water withdrawal and consumption and for effluent discharge in terms of quantity and concentration of Oxygen Biologic Demand per m3. While ANA is responsible as the federal agency in charge, local basin committees were empowered and make the ultimate decision on setting basic unit prices for water, adjustment coefficients, and granting water permits.
