Abstract

The present work has as its theme the study of sanitation and water supply in the city of Aurora-CE. This study was to evaluate aspects of water supply, from its source to the problems identified in the distribution of water within the city limits of Aurora. It is observed that from the urban growth of the city of Aurora, the service water supply cannot meet adequately all the neighborhoods, since in some places the water only comes at night, this way the entire urban population need to prevent the period in which the water is made available for your area. This problem not only affects the other boroughs; in the city, the problem is also common. Sometimes spends more than three days without water problems burst pipes reaching across town or bombs ETA are in trouble. The methodology used for the implementation of the monograph consisted of the following steps: bibliographic research papers, theses, reports, and among others, data collection from the Water and Sewage Company of Ceara (CAGECE) and a visit at the Treatment Plant water (ETA). The Research shows that several problems were identified in relation to water supply in the city of Aurora, in this way, it proposes alternatives to minimize the problems identified in the following ways: adaptation to technical standards of the water supply system and especially CAGECE control of leaks in the water supply network and public awareness about the need to rationalize the use of water in their daily lives, thus, seeks to contribute to improving the lives of local people.
