From intermittent to continuous water distribution: a proposed conceptual approach and a case study of Béni Abbès (Algeria)
Centralised water distribution systems in developing countries currently are operated intermittently to a very large extent. As a consequence of the numerous negative impacts associated with intermittent water distribution, functioning water supplies in the long run absolutely require the introduction of a continuous mode of water distribution. This article presents a conceptual approach to the successive introduction of a continuous water distribution. The approach is based on existing systems originally designed for continuous distribution but currently run in the intermittent mode. The focus is on the difficulties in planning and implementing the complex processes of database organisation, restructuring and changing the mode of operation, which are harmonised in a comprehensive process. The approach is explained for the case of the water distribution system in Béni Abbès, Algeria.
