Use of GIS, data mining and DSS for analysis of greater Cairo sewerage network

Abstract EN

The treatment of water and wastewater utilities problem should be faced by the optimum usage of our resources on the national economy.

One of the problems that face Egypt now is the ad-hoc failure of water and wastewater utilities.

The rapid growth of its population yearly increased both water demands and water disposal.

Serious strategies for water development and improving water disposal have to be established to prevent this failure which leads to both private and public benefit .Making a study of the current situation in an area of a district in one of the governorates in Egypt and making a reliable tool to predict regular maintenance of pipeline network before ad-hoc failure or replacing parts of the existing network is a must.

Delivery of more sustainable GIS applications which allow continual functional enhancements using common development tools and should be considered better supported application with improved system and user documentation.
