Mcirino,
Tbm. achei a tese que vc. se refere. Mas veja que aqui estão falando especificamente do coeficiente e se o seu texto tbm. fala disso entao sim, concordo, mas caso nao for, usario o termo que sugeri por ser mais generico. Digite o termo entre aspas no Google e veja os milhares de exemplos.

Este trabalho teve por objetivo estudar o consumo per capita, os **coeficientes de variação de consumo de água e contribuição de esgoto**, da população de baixa renda dos Conjuntos Habitacionais

Bom trabalho!

Asker: Gilmar, coloquei isso inicialmente, mas não me pareceu correto, parece estranho! Encontrei em uma tese escolar o termo traduzido como "sewage to water ratio". O que vc acha?
