Abstract

The objective of the present article is to characterize the simultaneous access, for general net, the water supply and the collection of sewer in Brazil and to analyze the evolution of this access of the beginning of the decade of 1970 up to 2000, taking in consideration some regional, municipal and domiciliary variables: geographic localization (great regions); characteristic municipal theatres – so great of the population (transport), tax of urbanization, monthly per capita municipal income and types of cities (state capitals or federal capital, pertaining cities of the interior or cities to a region metropolitan); and characteristic domiciliary – localization and monthly domiciliary income. The evidences had shown the existence of a serious access’ deficit of access to the services, that is differently distributed throughout the country. This deficit is closely related to the existence of economies of scale and density in the sector, that reflect a lesser cost of provision in great population concentrations (agglomerations); to the profile of income of the consumers, that influences the capacity of payment (tariffs), the preferences and the possibility of influence politics.
