The Kafr El Sheikh Water Supply Project is a comprehensive endeavour to provide the physical and institutional resources for an effective and sustainable water supply system for 2 million persons in a developing rural Governorate in the Delta region of Egypt. The paper describes the aims of the Management Component, the institutional development of an integrated water supply and sewerage company and the main activities to-date. These include training, operational improvements, health education and finance development. Further support is required until all engineering and institutional development work has been completed.

The paper features some relevant issues of developing an adequate policy in the field of urban water supply. The authors analyze the information systems of innovative management of organizations of the urban water utilization scheme, recycling of water resources and sewage. They identify the specifics of information systems from the point of view of their use in the Russian practice of sustainable water supply. The research involved analytical and logical methods, as well as theoretical developments in the field of management of urban organizations. As a result, the authors managed to identify the tools for the strategy of sustainable urban water utilization scheme. They prove that its development is hindered by the lack of comprehensive and reliable information to support strategic development, policy development, and management decisions. Based on the analysis of information systems, they point out topical issues that need to be addressed at various levels and introduce new principles for the urban water utilization scheme. Sustainable urban development is inextricably linked with the solution of the water supply problem, including recycling of water resources and sewage. The paper offers some provisions for a sustainable urban water supply strategy.

In Afghanistan, water is mostly used for agricultural purposes. The water supply chain requires updating to ensure its sustainability. Different irrigation methods – such as surface water based irrigation (via canals), groundwater based irrigation, and the Karez irrigation system – are applied across the country. Considering the compatibility of the Karez system with the environment, it can be deemed the most effective irrigation scheme, as it allows collecting a significant amount of groundwater and conveying it to land surface via sub-horizontal tunnels using gravity. This article analyzes Afghanistan’s Karez irrigation systems currently feeding water to over 170,000 ha of farmland with a potential to expand and become a component of sustainable water supply chain.
