Abstract
Human life needs many requirements that keep its survival . One of the most essential requirements is water.
Any use of water affects its chemical or biological characteristics or both. These effects generally make water unusable. We use water daily in huge quantities and after use we dispose it of as a wastewater. These quantities have bad and destructive effects if we do not dispose them of under the terms of health and safety standards.
The best way to dispose wastewater of is by designing a wastewater collection network. This network has many advantages beside collection. When we construct it, we can make treatment for the wastewater and reuse in different type of ways, like irrigation which contributes in rationalizing water consumption.
The village of Kafr laqif was taken as a study area. It is in the Qalqilya Governorate in the western West Bank, located 22 kilometers southwest of Nablus.
