Abstract AR

تناقش هذه الورقة كميات المياه المطلوبة و المتاحة في منطقة جدة، مكة المكرمة، الطائف و التي تقع في غرب المملكة العربية السعودية خلال الفترة (1985-2010) كما حددت الورقة أيضا سعات شبكات المياه و شبكات الصرف الصحي في هذه المدن، ثم استخدمت هذه المعلومات لتقدير كميات المياه المبتذلة التي يمكن إعادة استعمالها خلال نفس الفترة.

بعد ذللك تمت مقارنة بين الكميات المطلوبة و المتاحة في جدول لتبيان العجز المائي الذى ستقابله المنطقة إذا لم يتم موازنة مائية بين الطلب و المتاح.

Abstract EN

The paper discusses the present and future (1985-2010) water demands and the water resources of the Jeddah-Makkah-Taif (JMT) area in the Western Region of Saudi Arabia.

Also given are data on water distribu- tion, sewerage systems and capacities of treatment plants.

Both the availa- ble and the projected amounts of wastewater for reuse are estimated.

With these data, water demands are matched against available water resources to show the present water status in a tabular display format of a water balance model.

In addition, this paper addresses the impending water crisis if water demand and supply are not brought into balance.
