Four water distribution systems:

a. The treatment plant water network:

It is mainly located in central areas

This is composed of a mixture of water from

treatment plants and from groundwater wells

c. The local well network

It is exclusively nourished by groundwater

wells and is not connected to the central

treatment plant or hybrid water network
