Abstract
In large urban centers, there are poor sanitation conditions that trigger numerous negative consequences for residents. Sanitary conditions are essential for the well-being, quality of life and health of the population. The Recife Metropolitan Region - MRR consists of a series of integrated and complementary isolated systems to meet the population’s water and sewage demands. These systems are managed by Companhia Pernambucana de Saneamento - COMPESA, which owns the concession of public sanitation services in Pernambuco. Proper management of these systems can reduce many negative impacts and bring positive results for the environment, society, and the economy. In view of this, the use of sustainability indicators is fundamental to evaluate and monitor the fulfillment of the established goals for sustainability. Thus, this paper presents a study of the main sustainability indicators that reflect the carrying capacity of water supply and sewage systems in the main cities of MRR, in the state of Pernambuco. The development of the case study aims to identify the indicators and compare them among the most populous cities in the state of Pernambuco, which are part of MRR, tracing a parallel between 2015 and 2017 for indicators of water supply. The study was conducted with data from the years 2014 to 2017 from the city of Recife. The related data were obtained through the Diagnosis of Water and Sewage Services, by COMPESA, in its 2018 edition, published in February 2019, having as reference year 2017, based on the National Sanitation Information System.
