This paper focuses on hydrological characteristics in a semi-arid Brazilian city in the mid-nineteenth century and the technical subsidies to support the collect and the social distribution of water. Both Aracati’s urban growth and the town’s financial deficit allowed the tryout of a supply system financed with private money although it was a superficial experience. The frustrated experience in Aracati is the first step towards discussing the water supply among all the social demands and commercial speculations in mid-nineteenth century.</em>}, number={11}, journal={Agua y Territorio / Water and Landscape}, author={Bezerra Diniz, José Nilo}, year={2018}, month={Apr.}, pages={10–21} }
