ABSTRACT

Water is the source of life in our world. Drinking water pipes are system which
brings the source of life to us and it must be in healthy way. To Bring the water
to consumers, we have be careful about the system planning. We cant ignore
the materials which we used for drinking water pipes. Nowadays as the world
changes, unhealthy and water pipes also changes with the right material
selection. In Cyprus with the help of EU and Turkey, we keep on renewing the
old and unuseful drinking water pipes.

Su dnyamzdaki yaam kaynadr. me suyu borular da bu yaam

kaynan bize getiren sistemlerdi. Fakat bu salkl bir ekilde
gereklemelidir. me suyunu salkl bir ekilde tketiciye
ulatrabilmek iin sistem planlamas dikkatlice gerekletirilmelidir.
Gnmzde boru yapmnda kullanlan maddelerin ne olduu gz ard
edilemeyecek bir duruma gelmitir. Dnyann deimesiyle birlikte
salksz boru tesisatlarnn deiimi devam etmekte, bu doru malzeme
seimiyle gereklemektedir. Kbrsta da eski ve salksz ie suyu boru
tesisatlarnn yenilenme sreci, Trkiye Yardm Komisyonu ve Avrupa
Birlii yardmlaryal gereklemi ve gereklemeye devam edecektir.
