4.1.4. Water sector
This sector considers the water production capacity in both wilayas and the residents'
consumption. It also accounts for the operational energy used for water pumping and
distribution and the embodied energy consumed to manufacture the distribution network's
pipelines. However, the embodied energy associated with the water sector was estimated
only for 100km in Tipaza, as the network's length is not described in the collected data.
Moreover, statistics that describe the pipeline features (material, diameter) in the wilaya of
Algiers are also unavailable (tables 17, 18). Therefore, the calculation of the embodied energy of
the distribution network (pipeline) follows a conservative approach, described in (Appendix 4).
