Abstract: Water supply is an integral part of the spatial totality. In this context, the objective is to analyze these supply systems as an object of study in geographic science. To achieve this objective, research into Milton Santos' theory of geographic space and the functional conceptions of water supply systems was used as a methodology, through a perspective of dialectical and systemic analysis. Therefore, the results showed the functional identification of the objects and actions that are part of the water supply, from the collection process, to the water treatment, adduction, reservation and distribution operations. Therefore, the categories of spatial totality provided an understanding of the materiality and empirical aspects of the geographic dynamics of water supply systems.
