PARTial OF INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN FOR JERICHO INDUSTRIAL ZONE

Abstract

infrastructure of a city is the physical or structural part of the city. These things include its transportation systems roads, bridges, highways, public transportation, sewage system, water system, utility systems gas, electricity, water treatment and delivery, and its buildings schools, court houses, sports facilities, and its public and private housing developments.

Its important to focus on improving infrastructure, modernizing infrastructure will help keep country competitive, creat thousands of jobs and improve the lives of all citizens.

Palestine cities does not have complete infrastructure, since it's now in building and in some cities rebuilding and reconstracture. At least many palestinian cities dose not have drainage system, water network system, high ways and industrial areas.

Jericho like most cities in Palestine have no complete water supply network, sanitary system, sewage disposal systems and solid waste treatment. And also it dose not have industrial area.

Jericho municipality looks to design a complete and full option industrial area. The present study will prepare a part of infrastructure design of Jericho industrial zone. Our study will concentrate on the most important parts of infrastructure which is wastewater drainage system, storm water drainage system and water network for Jericho industrial zone.

Jericho city is an important and famous city due to its location, climate and characteristics, it's part of the Jordanian Rift Valley which is at 396 m below sea level. Also it considerd as agricultural area and it is looking to improve an “agro-industry”, for these reasons Jericho municipality looks to design a complete and full option industrial area.

The present study will prepare part of infrastructure design for Jericho industrial zone, which include wastewater drainage system, storm water drainage system and water network for Jericho industrial zone. It's considered the water consumption, wastwater quantities, rainfall intensity and storm water quantities, the necessary hydraulic calculation needed for the design of the three networks.

This study shows a number of important conclusions, Jericho industrial zone looking to be an agro-industrial area which has aspecial constraints that is taken in the design. Gravity flow for water network, wastewater collection system and storm water drainage system were proposed for jericho idustrial zone to minimize cost of construction and excavations
