Abstract
Dir Al-ghson is a village that undergoes many problems related to its water-based infrastructure. The water distribution network of the village is old and aged and therefore requires a hydraulic analysis to figure out what rehabilitation needs would be needed to upgrade the network. Not only is the problem in the distribution network is the aging factor but also it is expected that it will be undersized since there is a noticeable increase in population over time. Since water is being consumed and no question about that for the sustenance of life then wastewater will be generated. In the village, wastewater is being disposed of using cesspits and needless to mention how negative is that on the environment and the underlying groundwater resources. Therefore, we addressed in our graduation project the abovementioned problems and designed the water distribution network and the wastewater collection network for the village using WaterCAD and SewerCAD software.The design of the water distribution network came after proper assessment based on the hydraulic analysis since many locations in the network undergo low pressure and high velocity values. In addition, we designed the wastewater collection network considering design limits in terms of the cover depth, velocity and slope limits.In our work we utilized GIS along with the specialized software in order to process the data that we managed to collect such that the process of data entry was much facilitated.We demonstrated the output from the work in tabulated format, figures, plan views, and profiles, In addition, a detailed bill of quantity was prepared for the wastewater distribution network and the cost of network per 1 km was computed. Conclusions were made and proper recommendations were summarized by the end
