The output of the agricultural sector has been growing every year, which has also led to increased demand for water as well as the improvement of irrigation management . In places where water is scarce , conflicts between uses and users over disputes to access to water tend to intensify. In some situations , the development of agricultural production occurs in regions with low forest and / or coverage in areas with environmental constraints, such as permanent preservation . In both cases the increase in forest cover will contribute to improving local water availability , and may lead to other environmental benefits . In this context , the research sought to evaluate the impact of implementation of irrigated agroforestry systems on the local water conditions (scarcity) , establishing strategies that make them attractive environmental - and social - economically. To ground the research, were raised reviewed / discussed key topics such as water resources management , policy integration , agroforestry systems , computational simulation and environmental management of agricultural property . Thus , through computer simulation , alternative agroforestry systems were evaluated , taking as reference pilot region , typical of the spirit Santo's agriculture , consisting of small farms , family- based , partially inserted in PPAs . The research results show that the irrigated agroforestry systems are a promising alternative to minimize conflicts over water demands in water deficit regions , without compromising financial income . Other environmental benefits are are even mentioned. Finally, some technical recommendations were made, aiming to educate producers and agricultural and environmental managers , as well as recommendations for future research .
