Abstract

The treatment of water and wastewater utilities problem represents the best usage of our resources on the national economy. One of the problems that face Egypt now is the ad-hoc failure of water &wastewater utilities. The rapid growth of its population yearly increased both water demands and water disposal. Serious strategies for water development & improving water disposal have to be established to prevent this failure which leads to both private and public benefit. Besides Wastewater utilities face an aging workforce, combined with the declining maintenance budget which presents challenges to infrastructure management agencies to sustain acceptable performance levels and to meet the high demands of these systems. Need for new techniques to improve the efficiency of managing civil infrastructure systems is evident. Many infrastructure management software tools have been developed to address the increasing complexity of infrastructure systems. However, most of these tools were developed for stand-alone use, and thus lack an integrated and comprehensive view to the infrastructure management process and the ability to interoperate with other tools. This research presents an integrated component-based framework that aims to integrate different tools and technologies into one coherent environment to enable infrastructure agencies to address various aspects of infrastructure management from an integrative perspective. One of the most important integration is the integration between GIS and Al .So integration with ANN will be used 10 develop a prediction model for pipe failures and with GA will lead find near optimal solution for sewer rehabilitation according to certain budget.
