Abstract

The water supply in sufficient quantity and quality is one of the priorities for populations. Due to the shortage of resources and the priority in the costs with the water supply and the expenses with commercial available GIS, the application of open and/or free geo-technologies is relevant. This study aims to combat losses in a water supply system, made a composition in a GIS databank, focusing on the spatial display of repair and maintenance services in the water network. The patterns in the demands of the work that led to the establishment of preventive maintenance routines were identified, resulting in the gradual reduction of losses in the municipality of Coronel Sapucaia / Mato Grosso do Sul State
