Abstract
The rehabilitation of the drinking water system was always a latent concern for any drinking water supply - DWS - project. The rehabilitation is a necessary operation for any failure observed at all components of the drinking water network (pipe, valves, connection…).
In fact, rehabilitation requires the implementation of an increasingly high investment.
This case study concerns rehabilitation of drinking water distribution pipe in two localities Bouderbala and Souk Elgour (PROVINCE OF ELHAJEB, KINGDOM OF MOROCCO).
The drinking water network of these two localities has so far undergone 2 partial rehabilitations and the third of which is in progress (in the course of 2019). This study illustrates a financial and economic evaluation of the rehabilitation of a drinking water supply system operated for more than 14 years (since 2006) and whose hydraulic yield is decreasing significantly from year to year.
Indeed, taking into account only water produced and losses, the amount of money involved exceeds on average 5 million Dirhams (500 000,00 Euro) per year. This sum is equivalent to a general rehabilitation of the entire network of these two localities.
Through this study we will try to focus on the evolution of the amounts lost in comparison with the volumes of water produced and not consumed and also evaluate the financial impact of the rehabilitations.
