ABSTRACT


Background: The severe shortage of water sources is one of the most important challenges facing the Middle East region in general and Syria in particular. The continuous increase in population, economic activity and great development causes great pressure on the water resources in this region; on the other hand, a large proportion of this water is wasted from distribution networks, causing losses of money and energy. Objectives: This research aims to assess the current and future water needs of the city of Baniyas from drinking water, in addition to studying the possibility of bridging the gap between need and supply, depending on reducing the rate of losses. Methods: The study relied on conducting field measurements, determining the amount of water produced as well as collecting data related to authorize consumption of bills and others, and then relying on the WEAP21 program for modeling different scenarios. Results: This research finds that the percentage of losses in the Banias water network, reaching 65%, and the best scenario was that the losses were reduced to 30%. Conclusions: The study reveals that if the current situation persists in the presence of the same quantities of water, the gap between the amounts of supply and demand will widen, in addition to that the third scenario (reducing the percentage of losses by leaks) is an appropriate solution to cover the needs of drinking water in the city of Banias.
Keywords: Water need, water losses, weap21.
