استهلاك مياه الشرب في محافظة أسيوط : دراسة في الجغرافيا الاقتصادية باستخدام نظم المعلومات الجغرافية

Abstract EN

Water is most important resource on earth.

It is renewable inexhaustible resource.

But now, water is impacted by human misuse.

Water becomes polluted.

Pollution is transmitted to man; either by drinking (direct use), or vegetarian and animal foodstuff (indirect use).

Water envelopes the planet almost entirely.

Oceans and seas cover 71% of the total area of the Earth, containing 97.6% of the total water volume.

Meanwhile, potable water comprises 2.4% of total water volume.

Consumed water quantities refer to water used in households, stores, factories, workshops, governmental entities, and public utilities during the statistic's year.

This research aims at highlighting potable water consumption in Assiut Governorate from a geographic perspective.

This will be achieved by addressing the geographic distribution of potable water quantities, different forms of consumption and their relevant geographic distribution, individual's share of potable water, consumption-production comparison, identifying lost water quantities, and buildings' connection to the potable water network.
