ABSTRACT
Water is the most important natural resources for the human being and the most influence on his life in its various aspects, and with the large scarcity in drinking water experienced by most countries worldwide, the specter of drought and water shortages became overshadows on the most human societies, compounding the aggravate of this problem and its impact on the economic aspects the continued of water loss from distribution networks. This paper covers the identification of leakages in the distribution networks in particular, with the aid of using of geographic information systems (GIS). Trimble M3 DR total station was effective in picking the coordinates of pipe network and visible leakages within uniben and was later georeferenced and digitized using ArcGIS to map out the layout of the water distribution network and also the map depicting the leakage points. Furthermore, the digital elevation model (DEM) was also gotten and the per capita use was derived using the storage capacity of the supply reservoir (600,000 gallons) and also the population of students (75,000).
