Abstract:

The care of the environment associated with the integral management of water resources and the integral management of watersheds in the last time, apparently is the solution to the problems that afflict watersheds, taking into account strategic planning-master plans, organization of their inhabitants, the execution of investment projects with a tendency to improve the income levels of the inhabitants, to get better agricultural production, but above all to care for the environment. Climate change, an issue in vogue with devastating effects in recent times, alert for decision-making and the application of urgent measures, require significant investments in buildings accompanied by the generation of knowledge in communities and their inhabitants, backed by national and departmental policies effective for that purpose. Under this preamble the present article exposes the situation of agricultural watersheds with potential agricultural producers, which are short due to lack of investment and government policies that support this process with a view to financial sustainability or at least to demonstrate the effect that the execution of investment projects in financial matters; consequently, having future financial resources generated from the execution of projects with a direct impact on higher productivity and greater cash flows will give an integral vision for the strategic planning of the basins in social, political, technical, economic- financial and environmental The future effective flows for this article have been calculated considering several agricultural sub-basins, taking into account the percentage of cultivated areas for each product, irrigated area, agricultural production cost, income generated by sale of products valued at market prices and, the determination of net flows. These data are affected by the application of irrigation projects, which are mainly, determinant and have a multiplying effect on the production and generation of monetary flows; about, a comparison is made of the flows with project execution and without project execution. Likewise, indicators are taken into account to determine the incidence between both cases, these indicators are: The Internal Rate of Return-IRR, the Value Updated Net-NPV and the Benefit Ratio Cost B/C; from whose results the discussion arises from scenarios raised in cash flows. This financial tool, allows forecasting future aspects for a better management of the natural resources provided by the basins, better organization and generation of knowledge of its inhabitants, budgeting of investments with prioritization of projects; In short, it is a future tool for caring for the environment, improving low levels of productivity and performance in irrigated agriculture; anticipating the multiple problems in the basins such as decertification of land, pollution, environmental degradation and others.
