Abstract

For determining the optimal route of the water pipeline, technical and engineering considerations, economic, environmental and techniques that need to be applied, to all parameters simultaneously, are considered. In this study, first of influential factors in determining the route; the conditions of topography (slope, altitude), vegetation, land use, population density, length of pipeline, river and road, areas and important areas, residential, environmentally sensitive areas and centers (religiousculture) were determined using the base map and extracting the locus of points of interest from Google Earth to take action field operations navigation and to harvest land navigation. Then the data layer related target parameters in were loaded in GIS and then, applying the specific weighting the cost of map production operations based on Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) rate, mix and ultimately the optimal route using the lowest cost algorithm is determined. Comparison determination of the optimal route using ArcGIS software and IDRISI shows that the two routes coincide and comparing the designed route in this study (from Taleghan Dam to Hashtgerd New City) with ABFA route indicates that the route is 5/6976 km shorter than the ABFA route; despite optimal route cost only apply to influence some of the layers of the ABFA route is more. Two routes were compared on the basis of total cost and comparing them indicates that the optimal route towards the ABFA route costs will be reduced by 14%. ABFA major additional cost route resulted more from intersection with the river and the road, passing through unauthorized areas, passing through different users with higher costs and ultimately increasing the pipeline.
