Resources / Uses
• Like any natural resource, water is only a resourceif it is used to meet real uses and needs
• Water and wastewater are real and valuable uses of water resources. – Water bodies are a resource for water supply– Waste water is also a resource for water supply– Water bodies are receptors for discharge of used water and
storm-water
• Urban water and wastewater needs have to be combined with other uses: agriculture, industry, power, transport, leisure, environment, etc. so that these can coexist
AquaFed3
Information and the “span of control”
• Information is a key to good water management and combining many uses
• Integrated management of water requires:– Policy decisions– Administrative decisions– Planning decisions– Operational decisions
•Who takes these decisions•Over what geography •On what timescales•With what information•How are they coordinated
How far can information needs and data creation be shared and mutualised to improve efficiency and effectiveness?
AquaFed4
Data is required over different dimensions of water
• Data on the physical state of water is required for a range of different aspects
• Resource at point of abstraction– Quantity, Quality, Variability, Range, Extremes– Upstream risks and constraints (e.g. Potential pollution sources)
• Receptor absorptive capacity of water after use– Volume, Dilution, Vulnerability, Range, Extremes– Downstream risks and constraints
• In both cases a range of different temporal and geographical scales is also necessary– Season, time of day, time in week etc;– Hydrographic unit to operational zone & point of use / discharge
AquaFed5
Data is required over different time horizons
• Different management and planning purposes– daily for operational management
• Scheduling treatment, pumping, storage, demand matching, (dispatching), early warning, crisis management, customer relations, leakage
– seasonal for prediction and emergency preparedness• Reservoir & Aquifer management, Drought & Flood response,
Treatment regimes, Purchasing and works planning, Risk assessment and response preparation
– long-term for infrastructure planning purposes• Resource / receptor availability & variability• Demand forecasting (volumes, location, change, etc.)• Evolution of uses (own & competing)
AquaFed6
Different kinds of data
• Predictive (forecasting),– Masterplanning– Reserves planning
• Actual (real time management) – Operational management
• Historical (trends analysis)• Hard & interpreted data
AquaFed7
Creating and Collecting Data for Water Operations
• A virtuous circle of data & decisions– Good policy & good management require good data – They also
generate good data– Lack of data leads to poor policy and management– Data is not valuable information without interpretation
• Public & Mutualised data– Hydrological, Meteorological, Population, Land-use etc.
• Specific & Mutualise-able data– Captured for a specific purpose - is useful to others
• Sensitive data– Captured for a specific purpose & needs protection

Improving Water Service Continuity - Algiers
• Algiers - 3,2 M people, growth rate of 1,7 %/an• A water stressed region• One of the contract objectives
– To improve the water supply from position at contract start in spring 2006 where:
• <10% of the population with uninterrupted supply • ~60% of the population with some supply every 24 hours• ~30% of the population with some supply every 2nd or 3rd day
– To 100% having continuous supply every day by April 2010

The Main Kinds of Information Needed for this
Priority on medium to short term information (longer-term information needed to assure future sustainability)
• Water Resources: – Underground water data & modelling of Mitidja aquifer– Surface water – monitoring of Dams & rainfall
• Water Treatment (Production) – Flow measurements demand prediction
• Water Distribution – Zoning, pressure & flow measurements, network modelling, leakage, – (prediction , actual, trends)
• Customers – Customer feedback – customer behaviour & response• Evolution of Demand – population – urban planning • Energy – analysis & interaction over power challenges• Coordination with other activities – planning, progressing and
assessment of works programme – interaction with other services and infrastructure
