The present study aims dissertative modeling and calibration of a real distribution system water, with emphasis on the identification of water losses. The case study was the supply system of Juatama community in Quixadá, located in the central region of the state of Ceará. The distribution network under study was recently installed and is operating with stability, which enabled the development of a model that successfully describes the real system. The calibration process was carried out through LenhsCalibra application, which uses an optimization algorithm based on the technique of genetic algorithms. The program allowed multivariate calibration, including how to search the demand variables and the roughness of pipes, whose values were adjusted using simulations from the actual flow levels and pressures. The calibrated model system showed satisfactory results, and identify the record of discharges used for cleaning of the network and network points higher than those with demands effectively, are consumed by customers.
