Description:	This work was developed in order to contribute to the application of principles of ecosystem ser-vices in decision-making for water resources management. It aims to identify procedures and meth-odologies used for decision-making in order to select priority areas to be included in projects or programs of compensation for ecosystem services. To do so, methods and experiences to select pri-ority areas were sought in the technical and scientific literature; the key steps used in the selection process of priority areas were identified; then a survey of the procedures adopted to each key step was done considering the literature selected; and, finally, the information collected was analyzed and classified. The results we found showed the main objectives, actions and criteria used to select priority areas for compensation for ecosystem services programs or projects. They also indicate the pressing need for these projects or programs to systematize and share their experiences in this area
