As a matter location, Brazil is among the most benefit with respect to the accumulation of freshwater, with about 12% of all world reserves, that does not mean that parts of Brazil are free of the problem of water scarcity. Thus, were built over the years public irrigation projects and irrigation schemes which gradually became the key issue of agricultural production in semi-arid northeast, this sector is a major raw water users. Despite the efforts of governments and all investments in irrigated areas, the supply crises are still a constant in the Northeast and especially in Ceará. Thus, this study aims to characterize and analyze the ability of irrigators to pay the irrigation district of the Lower Acaraú in 2010, taking into account, and risks, the focus of economic-social projects. In other words, we intend to investigate, under three different approaches, deterministic, and under conditions of risk from the point of view, if the activities undertaken by irrigation of the Lower Acaraú present level of profitability sufficient to cover the costs of inputs, compensate the factors of production (land, capital, labor) to yield a residue that will form the basis for payment of water tariff charged by the state board. During the research will be using tabular analysis and descriptive, which is the submission of statistical data, in summary form, in one place, allowing an overview of what is to be analyzed, the results of exposing a simple and objective. The characterization of the producers is a key condition for the success of this research, thus becoming a secondary objective of this work. The method chosen to determine the ability to pay was the residual. The method of risk analysis to be used in this study is the Monte Carlo, because it constitutes a simple, reliable, low cost of operation and with the possibility of repetition. As for the economic evaluation will be used the conversion factors recommended by the Secretary of Water Resources of Ceara and SUDENE (1991). It was concluded that irrigation of the Lower Acaraú showed low ability to pay for water, both with the deterministic analysis under conditions of risk. However, under the social point of view the results showed a significant ability to pay.
