Resumo

Estimamos o valor econômico dos serviços ecossistêmicos providos pela vegetação ripária protegida (RPA) das margens e afluentes da Represa Guarapiranga (São Paulo, Brasil), considerando dois cenários: (i) o valor dos serviços ecossistêmicos providos se a RPA for recuperada consoante a legislação ambiental aplicável; e (ii) o ano de 2030, mantido o ritmo de urbanização e perda de cobertura vegetal na bacia observados entre 1986 e 2010. O cumprimento do primeiro cenário demanda reflorestar 5917,5 ha da zona ripária, o que deve reduzir o gasto anual com reagentes e economizar USD 181,774 por 1000 m3de água tratada. Para 2030, estima-se a perda de 6.220 ha de cobertura vegetal na zona ripária (1986 como ano inicial de referência). A perda de serviços ecossistêmicos providos pela RPA resultaria em um aumento acumulado de USD 318 milhões em custos de tratamento de água bruta entre 2011 e 2030.
