The contamination of the water resource in Colombia led environmental authorities to create mechanisms such as the remuneration rate to incentivize the change in the behavior of companies and citizens. The purpose of this investigation was to analyze the remuneration rate for contamination of water resources in Colombia. This work was done based on the revision of secondary documents in electronic databases. The results show that the remuneration rate could be more effective if the municipalities have greater knowledge about the calculation and collection of the same, since it is they who carry out a higher percentage of discharges, also allocate a greater proportion of the resources collected for this concept to the monitoring, conservation and study of water because both only 10% is allocated for this purpose. In conclusion, the remuneration rate is an instrument that, when applied correctly, helps to stimulate the adequate use of the water resource and brings significant sales from an economic, environmental, collection and financial point of view in the conservation and care of water sources
