Abstract Bechar, a typical Saharan city with an arid climate, receives an average annual rainfall of around 72 mm. Two resources ensure the supply of drinking water to the city of Bechar; the first comes from a catchment field consisting of eight boreholes, and the second comes from the Djorf Torba dam located in the west at about 45 km where is located the drinking water treatment plant. Water scarcity and water supply disruption have caused residents of Bechar city connected to the water supply system to invest in relatively expensive storage and pumping facilities to meet their domestic needs. The survey was conducted on a sample of 20% of the population of Bechar city in a period of 4 months. Through the survey, we have reached that 74% of citizens of Bechar city are not satisfied with the quality and quantity of water and 59% of respondents are not satisfied with the water pressure and are therefore forced to use the pumps.

Biological Nitrification

The implementation and evaluation of biological nitrification as a possible treatment option for the small-scale drinking water supply of a rural Upper Austrian community was investigated. The drinking water supply of this community (average system input volume: 20 m3/d) is based on the use of deep anaerobic groundwater with a high ammonium content of geogenic origin (up to 5 mg/l) which must be treated to prevent the formation of nitrites in the drinking water supply system. This paper describes the implementation and operation of biological nitrification despite several constraints including space availability, location and financial and manpower resources. A pilot drinking water treatment plant, including biological nitrification implemented in sand filters, was designed and constructed for a maximum treatment capacity of 1.2 m3/h. Online monitoring of selected physicochemical parameters has provided continuous treatment performance data. Treatment performance of the plant was evaluated under standard operation as well as in the case of selected malfunction events.

The City

South Sudan is currently fronting significant difficulties to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals 6 (SDGs) framed in 2015, concentrating on water as a path to sustainable development. The country capital city Juba is one of the drinking water insecure towns in the world due to a long civil war that destroyed basic infrastructures, encourage urbanization and rural urban immigration. This paper aimed to investigate drinking water quota per capita per day in other countries, suggest a drinking water budget per capita per day to Juba, estimate optimum capacity for drinking water treatment plant to the city, and recommend a suitable drinking water distribution system. Literature review methods under meta-analysis were conducted to assess the drinking water budget per capita per day for cities in the world and to investigate advantages and disadvantages of some drinking water distribution systems. Mathematical models were used to estimate the capacity of the drinking water treatment plant required in the city. The study concluded that amount of water needed for the city is 36 x 103 m3. It should be 35 x 103 m3 for the western side and 12 x 102 m3 for the eastern side of the city. It also found that a looped drinking water distribution system is the best option for the city. The study suggested construction of a new drinking water treatment plant to secure drinking water security and improve the drinking water distribution network.

Supply Planning

Techno Park regional development in order to increase regional competitiveness based on innovation and knowledge (konwledge based economy) requires infrastructure that can meet basic human needs, such as drinking water supply for the community. Techno Park region Pelalawan, Riau province located in the peat so that most of the water source is brownish and contains peat. While surface water sources such as rivers Kampar located far from the region. Therefore, to overcome the problems of water supply for the people who will live in the region need to be prepared water supply planning. Early stages of development is focused on the areas of education and research zone so that planning for water supply will also be prioritized in both these zones. Has calculated the drinking water needs based on projected population and  water demand standard in these locations. Planning of water treatment plant will conduct  in  5 stages yearly so that development is more economic with design capacity of 5 l / sec in 2033. Alternative sources of raw water are from Kampar river or groundwater that is used if transmission pipeline from the Kapuas river has not ben constructed. Technology of drinking water treatment with ultrafiltration processes that are environmentally friendly will be applied to meet the water needs of society. Transmission pipelines is planned of 15 inches diameter laying in parallel with lane highway from Kampar River ( location intake BPAB ) to the water treatment plant in the education zone . Keywords : Techno park region, water supply planning, ultrafiltrasi, peat area.
