The evaluation of the Case Study also included the analysis of indirect impact and weaknesses of the Progam. Based on the adopted methology, the results indicated that the Water Course Program was capable of contirbuting to the Local Development from its strategic conception, considering the range of areas of study that included the districts of Caçapava(SP), Piraí(RJ), Cataguases(MG) and Muriaé(MG).
