Abstract-- This study aimed to evaluate the municipal
management of the three basic sanitation services (water supply,
sanitary sewerage and solid waste) using Data Envelopment
Analysis (DEA). The study was applied in municipalities with a
population between 20,000 and 50,000 inhabitants using DEA
measures non-radial (additive) interval [0, 1]. Were evaluated 39
municipalities that provide all three services from 50
performance indicators used in the management of economic-
financial processes, customer, market and conformity of
products. In the study, the municipalities that achieved
efficiencies in providing services (index = 1) are: 12.8% in water
supply, 5.1% in sanitary sewerage, 20.5% in solid waste, when
evaluated individually. However, when all three services (water
supply, sanitation and solid waste) were evaluated concomitantly,
the efficiency was only 7.7% of the municipalities. The other
municipalities in the sample had lower assessment, in other
words, indices <1 and classification inefficient. It was found that
in Brazil, municipalities provide better service in the
management of solid waste, when evaluated in comparison with
the other two types of services. The use of DEA in evaluating the
efficiency of municipal sanitation demonstrated success when
applied jointly in water supply, sanitary sewerage and solid
waste. Results of this research enabled the Brazillian
governments evaluated to know the efficiency of sanitation
services provided and will provide strategies and actions aimed
at improving them along the population.
Index Term-- Municipal management, efficiency, water supply,
sanitary sewerage, solid waste.
1. INTRODUCTION
The Brazilian population growth increased the consumption of
treated water, generation of effluents and solid waste.
Numerous researches associated with the services of water
supply and/or sanitary sewerage or solid waste are published
in many countries of the world, given the concern for the
health conditions of people and environmental sustainability.
Sanitation actions can be considered preventive for health,
when ensuring the quality of the water supply as well as the
collection, treatment and appropriate final disposal of human
waste and garbage produced on a daily.
Brazil has a large geographical region, which have different
economic development levels, social and cultural and the
performance of basic sanitation services, whose diversity of
management models can be municipal, state, public and/or
private, each with specific characteristics, which directly
influenced the development indices of population attendance.
The Public Policy of basic sanitation in Brazil contemplates
how citizens' rights, access to services of water supply,
sanitary sewerage and solid waste with universalization,
integrality, efficiency, economic sustainability, safety, quality,
regularity and integration of infrastructure and their services
with management of water resources.
This article aims to evaluate the efficiency of water supply
services, sanitary sewerage and solid waste in Brazilian
municipalities using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The
DEA model adopted uses the measure does not radial additive
[1] from 50 performance indicators to evaluate the processes
of economic-financial management, conformity of products,
market and customers.
Associating evaluation models aiming its concomitant
application to the services of water supply, sanitary sewerage
and solid waste, constitutes a paradigm that aims to contribute
to improving the deficiencies of basic sanitation in Brazilian
municipalities, considering, studies have prioritized
assessments of efficient allocation of resources (productivity
and technical efficiency) and/or processes and management,
separately, for water supply. [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10],
sanitary sewerage [11], solid waste [12, 13 and 14]. Some
studies noted for jointly evaluate water supply and sanitary
sewerage [15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23]. However, no
published studies were found by applying the DEA,
concomitantly for water supply, sanitary sewerage and solid
waste.
2. MATERIAL AND METHODS
Researches initiated [24] gave rise to the DEA, and in the
1970s were already consolidated the research lines of building
efficient frontiers technique developed by [25 and 26] that
International Journal of Engineering & Technology IJET-IJENS Vol:14 No:01 44

used measures not radial, which allow changing the
production process because they enable changing the
proportions of the products and raw materials. In this research
we adopt the measure DEA additive [1].
For the evaluation of efficiency of basic municipal sanitation
services rendered in Brazilian municipalities will be built
curves of optimal performance. Such curves are called
efficiency frontiers for index = 1.0 and inefficiency for indices
< 1.0; considered efficient the Brazilian municipality (Mun)
represented by point(s) = 1.00 and, inefficient when
represented by point(s) < 1.0. Moreover, the further away the
efficiency frontier for the classification of a Mun, is the most
inefficient service sanitation rendered by him. In this context,
the algorithm used to evaluate a Mun° contemplated several
performance indicators (PI) simultaneously (PIj, j = 1, 2, ..., J)
and respective measurements (Mj, j = 1, 2, .. ., J) transformed
into monotone increasing functions on an interval [0, 1].
Considered observed values 0 ≤ mj ≤ 1 of the measures Mj, j =
1, 2, ..., J resulting from the performance function properly
and that do not exist or are not known optimal standards mj*
for the measures Mj, j = 1, 2, ..., J, the efficiency of a Mun° is
evaluated to other Mun similar Munn, n = 1, 2, ..., N, in the
same measurements Mj, j = 1, 2, ..., J.
The mathematical model used to verify the efficiency of
services of water supply, sanitary sewerage and solid waste
will indicate if a particular Mun of the sample is efficient or
not. The DEA used resulted in measurements M1, ..., Mk from
assumed values m1, ..., mK, as shown in Equation 1, such
that:
K...,,2,1k,. mzmn
kn
N
0nk
always that
N...,,2,1,0n,n,0e1 zz nn

(1)
The existence of any Munn better than a Mun° can be
resolved by checking if there are any numbers Zn ≥ 0, n =
0, 1, 2, .., N, Equation 2, such that:
1zn

there is
some k such that,

(2)
While, to see if there are such Zn, was adopted
Equations 3 and 4, linear programming:
Find: sk ≥ 0, k = 1, 2, ...K e zn ≥ 0, n = 0, 1, 2, ..., N; which
maximizes S = k

k = 1, 2, ..., K (4)
Thus, when some index present result (S*> 0), the
Muno evaluated is inefficient because there are any indicators
to measure positive for some s*k> 0,indicating the possibility
of valued service decrease the measure of inefficiency of this
Mun at least one of the performance indicators without
harming the other(s) indicator(s).Therefore, when the index is
S* = 0, the Muno is assessed as efficient, as the product s*k for
all k = 0, indicates that it will not be possible to improve the
efficiency measure for a particular Mun either indicators,
without sacrificing performance by at least another indicator.
The proposed model assessed the effectiveness of
basic sanitation using the DEA approach. From it verified the
efficiency of the services of water supply, sanitary sewerage
and solid waste related to economic-financial situation,
products compliance, market and customers, consolidated into
a synthetic indicator interval of efficiency [0,1].
The mathematical algorithm produced relatives measures that
may vary from one municipal service to another. The DEA
model designed to aggregations of measures was implemented
in software © Lingo.
Table I shows the performance indicators adopted in the
evaluation model and the Table II illustrates the schematic
model adopted for aggregate measures of efficiency of the
municipal water supply, sanitary sewerage and solid waste.
The data used were obtained from the Brazilian
Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and the National
Information System on Sanitation (SNSA) of the Brazilian
government, and the elements of the study were 39 Brazilian
municipalities (Mun) with a resident population between
20,000 and 50,000 inhabitants [27 and 28].
The measures of the indicators were transformed into no
dimensional measures and are presented in Appendix A.

3. RESULTS
In applying the DEA model, measures were generated
aggregating economic-financial, conformity of products,
market and customers indicators to define the efficiency of
services of water supply, sanitary sewerage and solid waste.
The mathematical algorithm applied to the DEA approach
to aggregate measures of market efficiency (with three
performance indicators), municipality n°. 1 (M1) for the
services of water supply was as follows:
max=0*z1+0*z2+0*z3+, ... , +0*z39+1*s1+1*s2+1*s3;
for=z1>=0; z2>=0; z3>=0 , ... , z39>=0; s1>=0; s2>=0;
s3>=0;
PIj1=0.79*z1+1.00*z2+0.00*z3+, ... , +0.84*z39-1*s1+
0*s2+0*s3=0.79;
PIj2=0.41*z1+0.83*z2+0.24*z3+, ... , +1.00*z39+0*s1-
1*s2+0*s3=0.41;
PIj3=0.98*z1+1.00*z2+0.43*z3+, ... , +0.34*z39+0*s1+
0*s2-1*s3=0.98;
Such that=1*z1+1*z2+1*z3+, ... , +1*z39=1;
END
Similarly, the DEA algorithm was applied according to the
equations (3 and 4) to evaluate the efficiency of customers
(EC), market (EM), the conformity of products (ECP) and
economic-financial (EEF) well as the efficiency of water
supply services (EWS), sanitary sewerage services(ESS), solid
waste services(ESW) and basic sanitation (EBS). The results
of the application to a municipality of the sample are shown in
Table III.

It is observed in the results presented in Table III that this
municipality of the sample had an efficient management
(1.00) for EEF and inefficient for EC (0.76), EM (0.11) and
ECP (0.71) in the water supply service. For sanitary sewerage
service, management efficiency for EC and ECP, inefficient
for EM (0.53) and EPS (0.56). In turn, all the factors evaluated
in solid residues were ineffective: EC (0.51), EM (0.75) ECP
(0.91) and EEF (0.35).
Consequently, the performance resulting from the
aggregation of the EWS (0.66), ESS (0.78) and ESW (0.73),

resulting in the ineffectiveness of sanitation services (0.75) of
M10, in other words, this municipality can improve 0.25,
compared to the other 38 municipalities in the sample.
The synthetic indicators for the service water supply,
sanitary sewerage and solid waste are presented in Table IV.
Here, it can be seen that five municipalities obtained efficient
management (1.00) to the service of water supply (EWS), two
in sanitation sewerage (ESS), and eight solid waste (ESW).
The basic sanitation service (EBS) which aggregates the
results of EWS, ESS and ESW concomitantly, was effective
for only three municipalities, although nine other
municipalities have obtained inefficiency ≤ 0.10.
The municipalities of greater inefficiency were: M10 in
EWS (0.66); M23 in ESS (0.32), M10 and M35 in ESW (0.73)
and M16 in EBS (0.68). The lowest average of synthetic
indicators (aggregate values) was observed for the EC (SS)
(0.47) and the highest average was observed for the EEF (WS)
(0.94).
4. DISCUSSION
The data envelopment analysis is adopted in various
forms with the aim of assess the relative efficiency as a
function of performance applied to organizations, Decision
Maker Units (DMU), inputs and outputs, returns to scale or
non-radial measures.
Applying DEA additive measure of this study allowed,
through mathematical algorithm, construct a synthetic
indicator identifying measures S* ≥ 0 to performance
indicators adopted in the evaluation of efficiency of services
of water supply, sanitary sewerage and solid waste, separately
and jointly as aggregate efficiency.
The visualization of the final results of the evaluation of the
efficiency can be seen below being possible to view their
efficiency frontiers. Figure 1 illustrates the synthetic indicators
aggregated to customers, market, conformity of product and
economic-financial for water supply services in the 39
municipalities of the study.

Each synthetic municipal indicator corresponds to
the aggregate evaluation of 23 performance indicators, whose
numerical results are shown in Table 4. In Figure 1 - the
Municipality 25 has owned S > 0, whose measure is the
relative inefficiency of the other 38 municipalities assessed,
similar interpretation to the other points of the graph, except
the municipalities 3, 20, 22, 33 and 34 which have S = 0,
indicating efficiency. Among the studies that adopted the
DEA to evaluate the water supply, stands out: [8 and 9], to
evaluate public companies in the sector of water supply
against the regulatory frame and its potential economic and
the costs of price review performed by regulatory agencies in
England and Wales (England and Wales).
Romano and Guerrini [7] evaluated the cost efficiency
of 43 Italian public companies of water supply services
grouped into clusters. The results indicated that the ownership
structure, size and geographical location had an impact on the
performance of water utilities.
Kulshrestha and Vishwakarma [6] to evaluate the
efficiency of water supply services in 20 urban centers in the
state Madhya Pradesh in India, aiming to measure the
inefficiencies of management and financial losses. The results
indicated that there are significant deficiencies among several
municipalities evaluated, and the larger cities have better
efficiency than smaller cities. However, even the larger
municipalities need restructuring and downsizing of its
operations and significant savings in operating expenses,
people and unbilled water can be obtained if adopted best
practices.
In turn [4] evaluated the efficiency of urban water
supply in 27 Indian cities applying the DEA as an analytical
tool to measure technical efficiency. Cities are classified into
different groups according to the structure of their services for
water supply and management of municipal or parastatal. The
results indicate that the functional autonomy management
shows better performance and, in addition, the results also
have implications for the cost of water supplied. It was found
that most water utilities are operating with decreasing returns
to scale, which implies that water must have a minimum bid
price.
Alsharifet al., [3] demonstrated that DEA can be
a useful tool to evaluate the relative efficiency of water supply
systems and establish benchmarks to measure progress in the
management of water resources. The study was conducted
with the water supply systems of the Palestinian territories of
the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The efficiency scores of Gaza
were considerably lower than those of the West Bank. Water
losses were the main source of inefficiency, while the size of
the municipalities evaluated affected a little bit the efficiency
of water supply services.
Figure 2 similarly illustrates the synthetic indicators
aggregated into the sanitary sewerage service in the 39
municipalities of the study.
Fig. 2. Synthetic indicators of efficiency of sanitary sewerage service
Each synthetic municipal indicator corresponds to the
aggregate evaluation of 08 performance indicators, whose
numerical results are shown in Table IV and the interpretation
similar to Graph 1. It is observed that there is a wide variation
in the results, the municipality 23 has the greater inefficiency
and only municipalities 3 and 35 are efficient.
Some recent studies have been developed jointly
assessing water supply and sanitary sewerage, all adopting the
DEA.
Cruz, Carvalho and Marques [18] used a data set of 253 to
evaluate 45 Portuguese companies of water supply and
sewage. The results showed that a single measurement may
not provide enough information for monitoring multi-utilities,

model contributes to decision making prioritizing efforts to
improve the overall efficiency.
In turn, [15] evaluated the performance of services for
water supply and urban sewage in Australia, with the objective
of determining if there was an improvement in productivity
and efficiency after the entry of the private sector in business.
Were adopted the Malmquist model to determine the different
levels of improvement in productivity and efficiency from the
1990s. The results point to a modest productivity gains in
larger urban centers, regardless of the company structure.
Furthermore, the study highlights the need to consider
exogenous factors can influence the results of productivity in
companies with monopoly characteristics and dependent on
raw materials such as water.
Al-Assa'd and Sauer [16] evaluated the sectors of water
supply and sewage in Jordan in two stages: first the DEA was
used to evaluate the efficiency and the second, adopted the
Tobit model to determine the impact of uncontrollable factors
about the inefficiencies of the concessionaires of water supply
services and sewage. The results of the application show that
there is a potential to reduce inputs and operating expenses 15-
20% in the sector of water and 23-27% in the sector sewage.
In turn, the results of the application of Tobit model indicate
that commercial activities have a direct impact on improving
efficiency for both sectors.
Moreover [21] adopted the DEA to measure technical
efficiency of supply water and sewage companies from 17
municipalities of the Province Markazi (Iran). The results
indicated less than 30% of municipalities were technically
efficient. The low financial income and water losses were the
main sources of inefficiency.
Figure 3 similarly illustrates the synthetic indicators
aggregated to the solid waste service of 39 municipalities in
the study.
Fig. 3. Synthetic indicators of efficiency of solid waste service
Each synthetic municipal indicator corresponds to the
aggregate evaluation of 19 performance indicators, whose
numerical results are shown in Table 4 and the interpretation
similar to Figure 2. It is observed that the variation in results is
lower when compared to the results of water supply and
sanitary sewerage, showing smaller inefficiency in the
provision of related services, also demonstrating the most
efficient municipalities, 08 among the 39 evaluated.
The issue of solid waste also has some recent studies
adopting DEA [13] researched the local infrastructure
installation of solid waste management based on the use of
analytic network process and quantitative focus from applying
DEA. The research objective was to evaluate the performance
of alternative locations and facilities for solid waste
management defining the best location to install the
infrastructure.
While [14] evaluated the efficiency of the 293
municipalities in Belgium in collecting and processing solid
waste using the DEA model. The application allowed the
overall efficiency and cost estimate of cost efficiency in the
treatment of various fractions of municipal solid waste with
the following line: (bulkywaste, residual waste, greenwaste,
packagingwaste, other municipal waste, other EPR-waste).
In turn, [12] adopted the DEA in evaluating the efficiency
of production and logistics in solid waste management in
Provinces of Japan according to the authors, when the market
fails to regulate the sector, benchmarking and efficiency
behaviors by units of decision-making in the sector come into
play, and the collection of waste is the main cost of the
activity of the productive chain of municipal solid waste. That
is, the collection of waste in metropolitan Tokyo represents
74.7% of the total cost of the activity. The list of
underperforming municipalities assessed indicates that the
geographical features and the number of small communities
inhabited is a determining factor for its inefficiency, for that,
not achieve minimum efficient scale in collecting their waste.

Applying DEA indicated that the production technology in the
municipal level assessed is constant return to scale.
In Brazil, there are no reports in the literature evaluating
the effectiveness of management services for water supply,
sanitary sewerage and solid waste using DEA. However, we
can highlight three sector researches. One, produced by [17],
were used the DEA approach (constant return) to evaluate the
technical efficiency of state-owned of water supply and
sanitary sewerage, in which it was found that 15 of them
(57.69%) were efficient. When observed under the focus
DEA-V (variable returns to scale), 21 (80.77%) were
considered efficient.
In turn, [23] evaluated the effectiveness of 20 public state
companies water and sewage during the period 1996-2000.
The study used DEA to measure the relative efficiency from
three inputs (staff expenses, operating costs and other
operating costs) and four products (produced water, treated
sewage, population served with water and population served
with treated sewage). The results indicated efficiency at 55%
of companies (1997) and 65% of companies in the other years
of the study (1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000). However the whole
period 1996-2000, only 45% of companies remained efficient.
Recently [22] adopted the DEA additive measure to
evaluate the efficiency of the management of municipal water
supply and sanitary sewerage. Were comparatively evaluated,
53 Brazilian municipalities with populations between 50,000
and 100,000 inhabitants, using 33 performance indicators
whose results were transformed into dimensionless measures
of the interval [0,1] before applying DEA. The results
indicated that nine water supply services (9.43%) and three
sanitary sewerage (5.67%) were efficient evaluation. In
assessing aggregate management of basic sanitation (water
supply and sanitary sewerage), only one municipality (1.89%)
achieved efficient evaluation.
When assessing the efficiency of services water supply,
sanitary sewerage and solid waste so as set for representing
basic sanitation in Brazil, applying DEA additive measure
indicates that 7.70% (municipalities: M3, M29 and M34) are
efficient . However, other 23.08% had inefficiency ≤ 0.10.
Figure 4 illustrates the aggregate results of the efficiency of
basic sanitation in Brazil.

5. CONCLUSIONS
The present application DEA additive measure,
pointed potential to measure the effectiveness of services for
water supply, sanitary sewerage and solid waste in
municipalities, so as together through a series of indicators of
economic-financial performance, compliance of products,
market and customers. The use DEA from a mathematical
algorithm to construct a synthetic indicator identified several
possibilities of improving the inefficiencies.
Furthermore, the study was of fundamental
importance to demonstrate the inefficiency of management
services for water supply, sanitary sewerage and solid waste,
mainly because they, in Brazil, have no direct competition,
which credits the inefficiency of the main threats to
performance of the sector organizations.
Considering that this research included in their
assessment a sample of municipalities with a population
between 20,000 and 50,000 inhabitants, the proposed model
may have extended its application to other municipalities with
public or private services in other countries of the world.
Other searches that may include indicators of
population health and Human Development Index (HDI) of
the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) of
United Nations (UN).
