What is it about?
The chaotic growth of cities results in numerous problems related to public health and the urban environment. One of these problems is the crisis in urban water supply systems. The objective of this paper is to develop a mathematical model for the water supply system crisis in an urban environment (WSC) able to tackle the ambiguity of the real available data.

Why is it important?
The paper is among the first works to describe a WSC model and to analyze the possibility of applying fuzzy logic to deal with the ambiguity of the real data. The water supply crisis in urban environments was adequately modeled.
Perspectives
Mathematical modeling is a well-known tool for management of the freshwater. However, when considering the water supply system crisis in an urban environment, there are some limitations of the conventional mathematical modeling that are related to vague and ambiguous data (e.g. real water loss, real available water, setting water tariffs, among others). The objective of this paper is to develop a mathematical model for the water supply system crisis in an urban environment, dealing with the ambiguity and uncertainty of the real data.
