摘要：The lack or insufficiency of water supply services can compromise the health and well-being of society, especially in the poorest regions. Among waterborne diseases, diarrhea and gastroenteritis show great relevance in the epidemiological scenario because they involve significant rates of morbidity and mortality, especially among the most vulnerable groups of the population. Thus, the study aimed to analyze the coverage of water supply and the relation with the incidence of hospitalizations for diarrheal diseases and gastroenteritis in the Metropolitan Region of Belém. For this, it was made a bibliographic and documentary review, and the data were obtained at platforms of the National Sanitation Information System (SNIS), the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DataSUS), which were processed using GIS software to create thematic maps. The analysis of the data obtained allowed to infer the difficulty of universal access to water supply services faced by the municipalities of the MRB, which three of them (n = 42.9%) presented a poor scenario, and only one (n = 14, 3) presented a really good scenario. There was also a significant incidence of hospitalizations for diarrheal diseases and gastroenteritis, especially in Belém and Marituba, which may reflect the low levels of water supply coverage, as well as the poor management and inefficiency of the systems. Therefore, the results can serve as a subsidy for future studies and for decision-making and adoption of intervention measures by public managers.
