The economy feasibility of implementation WDS project in Mala Omer catchment area

Abstract EN

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the Water Distribution System (WDS) and water distribution economy feasibility in light of Mala Omer research area that belongs to KR-I.

Data have been collected regarded Mala Omer through site visits and interviews with stakeholders and it was then analyzed for information abstraction to assess the water distribution feasibility.

Operation expenditures (OPEX) were estimated to 39% of the total revenue.

The WDS network was not sufficient and new water paradigm was proposed working by gravity.

The costs and revenue have been analyzed, the capital cost will require about five years.

While the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) was 33.4%.

The results of the study showed insufficient WDS with significance of the economy feasibility of the project.

Family size should have significance consideration in water consumption and price rates.
