Providing better water supply in urban areas may contribute to improved health, economic development, and poverty reduction. Therefore, the understanding of the current conditions of urban water supply systems is important in order to find ways to improve the systems. Typically, an urban water supply system consists of two components: supply system and demand system. The supply system includes sources of water, treatment facilities, storages and distribution network. The demand system includes consumption by population expressed as per capita water demand. The interactions among components of the system are complex and dynamic in there feedback loops between various elements of the system. One approach that can help to understand and model such interactions is system dynamics. This paper illustrates the process of building a system dynamics model using the case of the Indonesian water supply company (PDAM) Kupang. The purpose of the model is to understand the present condition of the system and to determine the behaviour of the system. The calibration and validation of the model is carried out by using residual error analysis. The results show that the model can well predict supply and demand in the system; with regard to Kupang system, supply is insufficient and therefore alternative strategies should be developed in order to meet the water demand.
