Abstract

MATA, Renan Neves da; OLIVEIRA JUNIOR, Aristeu de  and  RAMALHO, Walter Massa. Drinking Water Quality Surveillance Information System (SISAGUA): evaluation of data completeness on water supply coverage, Brazil, 2014-2020. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.3, e20211095.  Epub Aug 10, 2022. ISSN 1679-4974.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s2237-96222022000300003.

Objective:

To evaluate the completeness of dataset of the Drinking Water Quality Surveillance Information System (SISAGUA) regarding information on the coverage of water supply for human consumption in Brazil.

Methods:

This was a descriptive study on data between 2014 and 2020. A relative frequency distribution of 35 variables was calculated. Completeness was categorized as excellent (≥ 95%), good (90% to 94%), regular (70% to 89%), poor (50% to 69%) and very poor (≤ 49%).

Results:

In the period, there were 861,250 records of forms of water supply. With regard to data completeness, SISAGUA obtained an excellent classification for 25 variables, good for two, regular for three, poor for one and very poor for four variables.

Conclusion:

The system showed excellent data completeness for most of the variables. This type of study contributes to the continuous improvement of SISAGUA and enables the identification of inconsistencies and weaknesses.
