The microbasin is a geographical unit bounded by a drainage network (small rivers) that lead to a main river. The Rio Rural program is a financial one and utilizes participative methodology. In the beginning of the process members of the microbasin join together in interest related groups to elect their representatives to compose the so called Microbasin Manager Committee, the COGEM, which will follow the executor technician during all the program phases, even control. Various practices are supported, among them there is water spring protection. The community in this study is Prefeito Celso Daniel settlement, which has 204 families. 35 PIDs (Individual Development Plans) have been made and near R$ 89.098,00 financed split in 38 subprojects. In general, it was observed that the community is satisfied with the financial incentive given by the program. The sense of environmental gain is high enough, as well as the anxiety of the people involved that everyone accesses it for the number of families is high. The biggest problem faced nowadays is the beneficiaries that are current out of stipulated deadline for the accountability and subprojects implementing.
