Fernando de Noronha, oceanic island of 17 square kilometers, located in the archipelago of the same name which is 545 km far from Recife, the capital of Pernambuco state, has a local population of about 4,000 inhabitants. However, this population is increased by an average of 60,000 people a year who visit the island because of the strength of its natural landscapes as a tourism product. The significant population increase, in an area of limited availability of water resources, leads to serious problems of environmental order, implying even the degradation of those who are its main attributes: its natural landscapes. Seeking to evaluate the extent of such conflict between use and availability of water resources, water quality and public water supply service, effluents production and treatment processes, as well as the public policies adopted to minimize these problems, we present this work developed from data collection during the second semester of 2013, as well as analysis of documents acquired through the institutions: administration of the archipelago, Pernambuco sanitation company (COMPESA), Chico Mendes institute for biodiversity conservation (ICMBio), brazilian institute of geography and statistics (IBGE) among others. The results also show up data to evaluate the potential capacity of rainwater harvesting as a possibility to supply the demand of water resources not satisfactorily attended by existing systems on the island
