Implementation of a low-cost water flux management System for residences. Applying bibliographic research for better comprehension of the concepts applied in the work, adopting quali-quantitative research through a survey aimed at a random audience, documentary research for information support on informal agencies and finally a case study to accomplish the construction of a profile of the average expenditure by a Brazilian family. The average water expenditure on Brazilian households exceeds the required amount stipulated by the World Health Organization to achieve sustainable usage, bad habits we maintain about water usage in our daily activities, get us even closer to a future shortage. The expense of water wastage, either by reading failure or clandestine connections, cost to the country a large amount of money. With the export, there is an excessive water consumption in large cities and a lack of control on the part of residents in moderating their use. With the implementation of this system, the resident will have the possibility to obtain the control, clearly over its residential consumption, besides a better awareness about how its actions affects the environment and consequently the people around it.
