In the city of Havana, Cuba, supplies are made at times ranging between 4 and 12 o’clock each day, even on alternate days (Metropolis, 1996). In Santiago de Cuba, second largest city in Cuba, greater than 68% of consumers receive water every seven days and more, with an average of 5 hours service (DPAA, 2005). Implications: As you can see, this phenomenon is a necessity at International level, and its operation produces undesirable consequences in the systems of water supply, these include: 1. The lack of water. 2. Contamination of the water. 3.

Mosquitoes. That in turn produce obvious symptoms: pressure levels in very low network and water supplies in the most remote and network high enough. Exact cause: The causes of these problems can be summarized as follows: 1. Bypass the values of the parameters and assumptions made in the design initially. 2.

Levels of water losses from leaks that exceed allowable limits. 3. Deterioration of the technical skills of the elements of the network. 4. Inadequate system of technical management of supply. Solution to this problem: The solution of the three leading causes it depends on the economic capacity held by the country. According to the INRH in our country there are more than 4000 km network, 37% of the total are in poor condition and the estimated cost of repair is in the order of 121 million CUC (DPAA, 2005), Santiago de Cuba will need 60 million CUC (Canal Isabel II, 2001) to solve this situation. As long as the country mast is not in a position to take on this challenge, it is necessary to find technical solutions to mitigate the consequences of this problem and optimize the resources used in the operation of supply. One way to minimize these difficulties is to promote Technical Management System, which is managing a set of procedures designed to improve and increase progressively and comprehensively, the quality of service. This art Management System is implemented from the hydraulic simulation models, water quality, the optimization models and Geographic Information Systems. As can be seen to implement is only necessary trained staff and very materials. Technical Management System in turn leads to very good benefits for the body because it improves the quality of service with minimal cost.
