This dissertation aims to discuss the relationship between the populational dynamics and the use of water resourses in the urbanized area of the County of Serra, in Espírito Santo, focusing in the transformations that took place in the demographic structure and its relation to the water consumption. The analysis of such relation refers the second half of the twentieth century. Thus, the primary objective of the research consists in characterizing and analyzing the populational dynamic and the consumption of water in Serra, pointing out the current and future interrelationship between the demographic components and the domestic water use. In order to reach the proposed objective, our work plan has seeked, initially, to trace the theoretical framework in various areas of knowledge, trying to explore the theoretical approximations between both fields - Population and water resources. Then we have examined deeply the evolution and the current demographic frame, as well as the patterns of water consumption in the county, intending, in an analytical effort, find out similarities through the correlation of demographic aspects and the domestic water use. Among the outcomes, we would like to highlight the interrelationship between the population growth rate in the urbanized area of Serra County and the consumption of water in the domestic sphere, since it can be noticed the same trend of evolution in the population growth rates and the absolute values in water use in the period analyzed. The future scenario of population dynamic and the water consumption indicate that Serra population keep on growing in the next decades, although with lower rates in each period. Around 2040 the population of Serra must reach its level of saturation, that’s to say, the growth will become stable. The scenario of water consumption, instead, will follow a trend of growth until the same decade, but with rates higher than those of the population, this one already in a slowdown.
