 	abstract = "Exploring the effects of water supply promoted by the São Francisco Inter-basin Water Transfer
 (PISF) on socio-economic aspects is relevant for three main reasons. First, water is crucial for the
 local development. Second, there was a large volume of resources employed. Finally, many people
 were affected by the project. For filling a literature gap, this research proposes to verify those impacts
 on the low-income population living in municipalities that received water from PISF in 2017.
 To reach this purpose, we applied the Differences in Differences identification method for three
 different control groups, considering 2016 as the year before treatment and 2018 as the year after
 treatment. We investigated the effects on individual income, on whether the person had a paid work
 or not, on family income, and the participation in the Bolsa Família Program. The main results imply
 that, in the short term, the project has generally played a positive role in low-income population
 lives. However, the observed improvement on the analyzed variables does not necessarily mean an
 increment in family well-being.",
