The main purpose of this assignment was to examine the water supplies development in the city of Itaituba, considering that it went through a very quick economic and spatial growth and na increase in population could also be observed. It was necessary to carry out a bibliographic research based on the historical context its economy, the spatial growth and the given increase in population as well as the development of water supplies in areas where studies were done and the future perspective for the enlargement of water supply systems according to the increase in population and the city’s current economic cycle. From the theoretical assumptions and the documental analysis, we could realize that the city in question showed a significant increase in population in certain periods owing to economic cycles developed in the region but there was not any investment in urban infrastructure, just like when it came to the water supplies that were implanted in 1971 when it ranged 22,55% in terms of provision and in 2010 that rate decreased to 8,01%. From the diagnosis of water supply systems and their being related to economic cycles and demographic rates, we intend to provide the city with means to creat a Basic Municipal Sanitation Plan.
