Abstract
The present study developed indicators produced from various information systems that present the general condition of water, sanitation and health in Brazil. A total of 94 variables were selected, which supported the development of 73 indicators according to three axes: water quality, sanitation conditions and health disorders related to water. These indicators were appropriate for use in the form of tables and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) web maps. The possibility of visualising these data through maps may help health and sanitation managers both improve these services and complete the information systems. People have used the information available to support civil actions in the fight for sanitation rights. The site has been visited both to assess local conditions by consulting the listings of the indicators in a single municipality and to map large areas by consulting the maps and graphs for a single indicator. The large number of times that the glossary of technical terms and legislation was accessed indicates that the site has an educational application and is not used simply as a source of data.
