Desarrollo de un fideicomiso como herramienta de financiamiento para la gestión, funcionamiento y sostenibilidad de un fondo de agua para la provincia de El Oro

Abstract

Abstract: The constant evolution of the financial system has generated the need to seek new financial mechanisms for the realization of business, allowing the figure of the trustfunds to be considered as a novel and interesting activity. The payments for environmental services seek to value and internalize the benefits that nature provides through ecosystem services. The relationship between water and its ecosystem services is a strategic issue intrinsically linked to the availability and quality of water for populations, different uses and ecosystems. Taking into account the water availability of the province of El Oro, obtained through a characterization of their watershed, as well as the uses and demands of water in the area, was proposed as an objective the creation of a Trustfund for the administration of the province Water Fund, establishing the regulatory framework that supports it, as well as the rights, obligations and responsibilities of each of the actors that compose it.
