“…In addition, they face another important issue: the losses that occur throughout the operation of the system. The greatest losses, however, are found in water distribution networks (Fritz et al, 2020). This is because water distribution networks are made up of numerous different elements, such as pipes and devices like pumps or pressure reduction valves, interconnected with the function of bringing water in quantity and quality to the points of consumption, thus forming a complex structure (Martinho et al, 2021).…”

Disorderly use of water resources has led to depletion, causing environmental and social issues. A relevant aspect to be observed in water supply systems is physical losses which occur during the system’s entire operational process. Many different software packages allow simulations of pressures and flow in water networks. The most used is EPANET. The epanet2toolkit is a recently developed R package that performs the interaction between EPANET and R. Based on this tool, a set of functions is developed to study and evaluate a theoretical network. The objective is to find an ideal network configuration (design) mainly for pressure management which simultaneously reduces physical losses. Water network parameters, such as roughness, reservoir levels, and diameters are used as parameters. A Monte Carlo simulation is generated, based on random values of these network parameters. From these, an ideal pressure scenario is found, resulting in a reduction of 11.6% in the occurrence of physical losses concerning the base case. Keywords: epane2toolkit, hydraulic evaluation, water distribution networks.

Objective: It is intended to analyze the efficiency of the use of water resources in the Water Supply System (SAA) of the Jerimum Site in Missão Velha-CE, through the monitoring of water losses in the distribution system, in order to propose mitigation measures and control of waste. Method: This qualitative and exploratory study used a bibliographic procedure to investigate the effectiveness of the distribution system of the SAA of the Jerimum Site managed by the Integrated Rural Sanitation System (SISAR). Data collection was carried out through meetings with community leaders and the general population served by the system, analysis of the Loss in Distribution index (IPD) in the period from 2018 to 2022, consultation of the SISAR spreadsheet related to loss control and inspection of the SAA. Results of the research and discussions: The results obtained revealed that the distribution system of the SAA of Sítio Jerimum is considered inefficient, as it does not meet the minimum limit established for IPD of up to 25%, as determined by Ordinance No. 490/2021. The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, providing insights into how the results can be applied in the field of SAA management, specifically rural ones. Research Implications: The research contributes to the literature for its practical propositions about the fight against water losses. In addition to implying the awareness of the population of Sítio Jerimum, Missão Velha-CE, to reduce losses in their SSA. Originality/value: The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by identifying that an efficient management to combat losses requires attention in the technical, inspection and socio-environmental pillars. Thus, this research offers environmental managers tools to verify the efficiency of SAA in terms of water loss control, and consequently ways to reduce loss rates.
