Abstract

In terms of the significance of the role of Architects in resolving mega problems in the Engineering practice in the various fields, this study was initiated to investigate the implementation of architectural practice to restrict fresh water abuse by reducing surplus water consumption in new urban communities, where New Cairo was taken as a case study. Primarily, literature was reviewed in the field of water consumption and water resources. In addition, objectives were set, upon which a research methodology was planned. The planned methodology is based on a descriptive analytical approach, where an electronic questionnaire was designed and distributed among a random sample in New Cairo in order to survey their perception to water consumption. Moreover, a statistical analysis was achieved to the random population answers, where graphs and tables were produced using SPSS software. Finally, conclusions were deduced that proposed simple affordable tools in new cities in order to ensure efficient water consumption and reduce the surplus water misuse in new urban communities. This would most probably ensure reliable water supply to the present generation and safeguard it to the future ones. In addition, recommendations for future research and Engineering practice were suggested.
