Note: The methodology used in the Global Open Data Index has changed over time; significantly so between 2015 and 2016. For this reason, the results are not directly comparable over time.

What data is expected?

Data, measured at the water source, on the quality of water is essential for both the delivery of services and the prevention of diseases. The Index either looks at the quality of designated drinking water sources, or of environmental water sources (if drinking water data is not available). See our methodology for more information. In order to satisfy the minimum requirements for this category, data should be available on level of the following chemicals by water source.

  • Fecal coliform
  • Arsenic
  • Fluoride levels
  • Nitrates
  • Total Dissolved Solids
  • Data per water source
  • Available for entire country

How open is the data?

There are some other possible data sources for this kind of information: The National Water Agency (ANA) has a portal for Water Quality Assessment (https://portalpnqa.ana.gov.br/avaliacao.aspx) that produces reports on the topic, but is really outdated; The Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (FIOCRUZ) has a Water Quality Map (https://www.geoprocessamento.icict.fiocruz.br/svs/agua/atlas.htm) that doesn’t seem to work correctly (at least when the survey was filled); and The Ministry of Health, as mentioned above, has a platform called SISAGUA (Information System for Human Consumption Water Quality Surveillance), but I was unable to have access, so I cannot identify what kind of information I could get there. The link is https://sisagua.saude.gov.br/sisagua/login.jsf

Your submission is valid. Thank you very much for contributing to the Global Open Data Index.
