Abstract

Water and electricity are essential commodities, imperative for human life and activities. With the increasing modernization of sanitation systems and electrical appliances, energy consumption in these systems has increased proportionally. Without electricity, widespread water supply and sanitary sewage services are unthinkable. The electricity is primarily used to power the robust motor- pumps that move the liquids, water or wastewater to higher point, these same motor-pump systems are also responsible for consuming approximately 2 to 3% of the world's energy. So, there is a need for synergistic solutions involving both sectors to improve the efficiency of the operational and energy processes. Therefore, this article proposes to analyze the main indicators of the sector, and present the relationship between the evolution of water and energy consumption in sanitation systems and the differences between Brazilian states. In addition, the best practices to increase the efficiency of water supply and sewage services presenting techniques used to improve operations and energy management systems are presented.
