Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The perception of consumers concerning the water supplied by water supply systems (WSS) can be a valuable tool for the management of water resources. This study aims to assess the perception of the citizens of the city of São Mateus, southeast Brazil, concerning the water supplied by the local WSS, and investigating the availability of other alternative sources. A survey was given to a sample of local consumers, and the results suggest that most consumers do not have a good opinion regarding the water quality, highlighting flavor, color, and intermittent supply as the main issues, especially during periods of drought. These conditions are mainly associated with the increase of the total dissolved solids in the raw water. Using private water wells is highlighted as an available alternative source for multiple domestic uses; nevertheless, this alternative may cause some concern if the exploitation of the resource is made without control.
