Abstract

Discussions addressing basic sanitation frequently revolve around the question of urban drainage and solid waste. In this context, the management of public policies in Brazil has been undergoing an intense change in recent years, with the incorporation of new methods and tools for analysis of areas of intervention, public programs monitoring, and in decision making in general. This chapter illustrates the use of information by a public official in order to decide whether to invest and how much to invest in basic sanitation and waste collection. The information is paramount to evaluate the prospects of a policy. In order to demonstrate the decision-making process regarding the systematic relation between alterations in income and the quality of the environment, we use the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC).
