Basic sanitation directly impacts quality of life, health and the development of society.
Water is an essential resource for the survival of the population and in regions where this
service is scarce, the population is looking for other alternatives that can lead to an
increase in waterborne diseases. The present study aims to diagnose the current situation
of the water supply service in the municipality of Pau D'arco - TO, both in urban and rural
areas, and, from there, propose alternatives that can solve the problems identified in
relation to water supply in the municipality. The present study made projections for the
20-year horizon. In addition to bibliographic research, the survey of primary data was
used for the development of this study, through visits to the municipality and the
application of an online questionnaire to the population. The results found show that the
current water production in the municipality is not sufficient to meet the current and future
population, based on the 20-year horizon. In addition, the water reserve capacity in the
municipality does not support current or future production, requiring expansion. Another
problem identified is the great loss of water in the distribution network, which reaches
62.7%, showing recurrence of leaks. From the identification of the main problems,
technical alternatives were proposed to solve them.
