Summary/Abstract: The article presents some reflections on access to drinking water and sanitation in the countries of the Global South, based on the WHO and UNICEF Report, and brings elements to think about this accessibility in the peripheral areas of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The text presents a qualitative-quantitative analysis of data provided by IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) and SINIS (National Sanitation Information System), bringing a critical view of sanitation conditions in the region from a territorial perspective and reflecting on impacts and sustainability in one of the largest and most important river basins for urban supply in Brazil, the Guandu Basin, located in the State of Rio de Janeiro.
