Introduction: Globally, there has been a rise in attention to water conservation in a time where there is a limited water supply and an ever-increasing water demand. Statistically, increased water conservation and efficiency remain the most cost effective methods for sustaining water. Data indicates that there is an average of 10% water waste due to timeworn and leaking infrastructure through typical town networks, and through the application of new technology, it is predicted that the urban and domestic sectors can save 15% of lost water. The rapid growth in the demand for water in Israel can be attributed to a fast growing economy and an unexpected rapid population increase from immigration “32% increase between 1990 to 2000” (Source B). Nationwide campaigns placed efforts to focus mainly on the conservation of water by fixing leaks, and utilizing water conserving faucets and dual-flush toilets to meet the dynamic growth in population demand. The robotics I will outline in this paper currently act as positive investments due to their improvements on work efficiency as well as increased flaw detection abilities. I am pleased to discuss in this paper these revolutionary products in Israel, who’s taken initiative to protect water through patented technology and public awareness. Discussion: The Israeli water economy is capable of moving water reliably and efficiently with the help of new technology. The movement of water is done through various piping networks, and therefore, piping needs to be inspected and maintained for cracks and leakages. In the past, these fractures in piping networks would become a concern when they reached the state of emergencies, and now technology allows them to be prevented ahead of time.

Introducing a more widespread use of these robots could account for major loss prevention of water through leakage location and also present more water analysis data through sampling. In class lectures we discussed the criterion of clean water and what the parameters are for clean water by indicator organisms. Here in the United States we have regulatory agencies that determine the quality of water through its composite makeup (biological, chemical, physical). Whether it be bottled or tap water, it is inspected on varying levels of carefulness by either the USEPA or FDA, and these robots can account for water loss and quality analysis in the future. These instruments coupled with a new project, which relies on seawater reverse osmosis technology, are the frontier in water development and conservation technology In Israel.
It’s no mystery that having clean water is a fundamental element to living in a prosperous society and one of the few things essential for human survival. Water not only sustains our health, but is required in making everything from electronics to clothes. Clean water may seem as ordinary as putting on your shoes, but it’s a daily party of our life that’s being threatened.
The human race needs three things to survive; air to breathe, food to eat, and water to drink. A large majority of the public thinks these resources are infinite and plentiful. What they fail to realize is that they are not infinite, air can become polluted, food can carry pesticides, and water can transmit diseases very easily. In order to keep these necessities safe, many companies are taking the initiative by trying to cut down on pollution and stop using harmful pesticides. Water, however is not getting enough attention, especially in urban areas. Framework exists for these urban areas to be able to have successful water management, but some countries cannot afford these ideas or simply do not want
In our generation of new technologies and high civilization it is hard to believe that our World is in Water crisis. This crisis is affecting not only low-developed parts of the world but also it affects high-developed countries, about one third of the humanity suffers from the scarcity of water (Molden 2010). One of the main causes of it is overpopulation. In increasing water demand water sources which we have now are not able to renew themselves. Another factor of water scarcity is not economized water consumption. Nowadays most of countries are beginning to realize that solving the problem of scarcity of water is very crucial. One of them is Mexico where water shortage is the national problem.
This is because only a small part of the population, particularly in developing countries, have access to water of acceptable quality. It is estimated that in some countries only 20% of the rural population has water of satisfactory quality. Based on these statistics, it is clear the urgent need for awareness about caring for water use. Almost without realizing it, we are seriously jeopardizing this essential resource, not for us but for our children's children and their generations, aware that in other parts o...
The amount of water has been shrinking steadily but with extreme increases in population growth and consumption rate, countries in dry areas specifically the Middle East will feel the colossal effects of a water shortage. Since 1950, the population of the Middle East has risen by 21% a...

Due to geography and population growth, the Middle East nations are faced with a growing demand for a shrinking water supply. Throughout most of the Middle East region rainfall is irregular and the rainy season is very short. The World Bank reports that this area (including North Africa) has 5% of the world’s population, but only 1% of the world’s water. Droughts have been occurring more frequently and lasting longer, warning of a bleaker future.
2.1 billion people in countries that are undergoing a form of urbanization have inaccessibility to clean drinking water as a result of pollution, poverty and poor management of resources. Water resources are being depleted by agriculture and energy production
With recent developments in plumbing technology, it is quickly becoming easier than ever to be mindful of water conservation. Through the use of greywater technology, and easy methods of rainwater collection, the demand for freshwater required within the home can be greatly reduced.

Supplying water in not good quality is also another types of problem can be related to poor supply system. Having good quality pipe line insure that water reach to customer are meeting the stander (see the appendix). Water arrived to customer should be free from microorganisms and other toxic material that generated due inefficient pipe line. Pipeline that takes and distributes the water should build from good and suitable material and not easily eroded.

All water utilities incur leakage losses; only the amount varies. Leaks and most visible main breaks occur for a variety of reasons, including poor installation workmanship or materials, corrosion, external forces, environmental extremes, and other causes. Leakage is always occurring, and only grows worse if left unchecked. Therefore, all water utilities should provide system maintenance and upkeep functions that include appropriate components of leakage management: active leakage control, timely quality repair, water main rehabilitation, and pressure management. (Mark Mathis, 2008)
Water quality can be described as the measurement of the condition of water relative to the requirements of humans, animals and plant’s need. When we talk about water quality testing, we are highlighting a critical piece of natural observing for civil engineers in order to create a specific structure or decision. At the point when water quality is poor, it influences almost every single form of life in our planet; going from plants to animals and thereon. Hydrology, in the other hand, is the study of water. It is important to state that hydrology is a critical part for civil engineers to determine and predicting decisions that will affect our biological environment.
The implementation of new water purification system carries some risks along with it. Because of the nature of the device and the location in which it will be implemented, the risk factor for the success of this project in Sandikhola is of major concern and should be considered an important criteria for development. These risks must be considered fully before and during the development of the new purification system in order to contribute to its success to provide clean water in Sandikhola.
