Abstract

This study aims to build a methodology for the determination of water consumption by sector in the state of Paraná's productive system. For this, it uses data from 2013 (which observed by today's look, allow effects analysis). In order to do so, the importance of water in industrial, commercial, public and practical production
processes a methodology was presented to determine the sectorial consumption of water in the Paraná state productive system in 50 sectors. For this purpose, data are used for the input matrix of the state for the year 2013, the number of formal jobs included in the Annual Social Information Ratio (RAIS, 2018) for the same period,
and the billed volume of water for the year of 2013, coming from the Companhia de Saneamento do Paraná (SANEPAR, 2018). As a result, a total water consumption for the state of Paraná in 2013 was 391,842,491 m3, with an emphasis on the agricultural sector representing around 70% of this consumption, according to WWAP
(2017), with approximately 274,289,744 m3 of water, followed by Commerce with 65,034,959 m3, Industry with 24,992,889 m3, Public Administration with 20,262,809 m3 and Public Utility with 7,262,090 m3.
