Abstract

ABSTRACT Increasing the level of comfort and development and locating in an dry and desert areas has led to decrease in renewable sources of drinking water in eastern Iran Specially in Sistan and Balochestan. Access to drinking water in this area is difficult and its price is high (4 US$ per cubic meter). In this article, two scenarios have been investigated in order to supply sustainable drinking water. (1) Usage of available brackish water resources through brackish water Reverse Osmosis desalination system and (2) Usage of Oman Sea water resources through Sea water Reverse Osmosis desalination system and fresh water transfer by pipeline. Results show that the average prime cost of drinking water is (0.94 US$) and (2.58 US$) per cubic meter in the first and second scenarios, respectively. Also, the average period of return in the first scenario is (3.3 Year) and in the second scenario is (9.59 Year). More investigations show that the sea water desalination units construction and pipeline transmission is economicaly feasible up to 300 Km from the coastline.

贫困地区可持续饮用水供应方法的技术经济和环境分析（锡斯坦和俾路支斯坦的案例研究）

摘要伊朗东部，特别是锡斯坦和俾路支斯坦，由于舒适度和发展水平的提高，以及地处干旱和沙漠地区，可再生饮用水资源减少。该地区的饮用水供应困难，价格高昂（每立方米4美元）。在本文中，为了提供可持续的饮用水，对两种情况进行了调查。（1）通过微咸水反渗透脱盐系统利用可用的微咸水资源，以及（2）通过海水反渗透淡化系统和管道输送淡水利用阿曼海水资源。结果表明，在第一种和第二种情况下，饮用水的平均基本成本分别为每立方米0.94美元和2.58美元。此外，第一种情况下的平均回报期为（3.3年），第二种情况下为（9.59年）。更多的调查表明，海水淡化装置的建设和管道输送在距离海岸线300公里的范围内是经济可行的。

期刊介绍： Urban Water Journal provides a forum for the research and professional communities dealing with water systems in the urban environment, directly contributing to the furtherance of sustainable development. Particular emphasis is placed on the analysis of interrelationships and interactions between the individual water systems, urban water bodies and the wider environment. The Journal encourages the adoption of an integrated approach, and system''s thinking to solve the numerous problems associated with sustainable urban water management. Urban Water Journal focuses on the water-related infrastructure in the city: namely potable water supply, treatment and distribution; wastewater collection, treatment and management, and environmental return; storm drainage and urban flood management. Specific topics of interest include: network design, optimisation, management, operation and rehabilitation; novel treatment processes for water and wastewater, resource recovery, treatment plant design and optimisation as well as treatment plants as part of the integrated urban water system; demand management and water efficiency, water recycling and source control; stormwater management, urban flood risk quantification and management; monitoring, utilisation and management of urban water bodies including groundwater; water-sensitive planning and design (including analysis of interactions of the urban water cycle with city planning and green infrastructure); resilience of the urban water system, long term scenarios to manage uncertainty, system stress testing; data needs, smart metering and sensors, advanced data analytics for knowledge discovery, quantification and management of uncertainty, smart technologies for urban water systems; decision-support and informatic tools;...
