Abstract

It is worth noting that there are overload rates in the water plants, and that there are some areas that suffer from lack of access to water due to insufficient disposal or lack of pressure. However, this research offers a framework for WSS that deliver drinkable water to various regions in Cairo. The scope of work consisted of three main parts, at the first part, the common risks in greater Cairo water supply system is defined, and these types of risks are categorized based on its effect on the sustainability, reliability and resilience. While, at the second part, Combination of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method and Generic Risk Matrix (GRM) method is developed to evaluate the risks. And the third part, risk response alternative strategies are suggested to supply decision support makers on dealing with the WSS risks and evaluated using (RII) analysis. The application of this frame work will increase the efficiency of Mostorud Water Supply Systems (WSS). Additionally, the research provided a base for water utilities to assess the risks and achieve desirable level of service.
