abstract = {The planning and modelling of Hamzehloo's water supply infrastructure are based on the original 

concept from 2019. Current findings obtained during the campaigns in 2022 result in three relevant 

changes. Firstly, the location of the water treatment plant building is changing, which also results in 

changes regarding the route. The second change is the deepening of the Reza abaad well. This also 

results in a new extension of the well due to the pile driving process. The third point is the slight 

reduction of the pipe diameter of the service water pipe to DN 75.

The water supply infrastructure includes the well house, the reservoir, the water treatment building 

and the piping network. In addition to the Iranian regulations, the construction of the structures is 

also based on the DVGW regulations as well as many DIN standards in order to achieve the best 

results and to ensure structural stability. Although the focus is on local construction methods, new 

elements, such as flood protection for the well house, are also integrated into the planning.

In order to make the desired design clear to all project participants, detailed digital models are created 

of the buildings as well as of the entire village. Three software applications are used for the modelling. 

The creation of individual components is done with Fusion 360. These components are then imported 

into the building models, which are constructed with Revit. InfraWorks combines all components in 

a digital terrain model, which implies the village and its surroundings. Finally, the buildings of the

water supply infrastructure are connected to the route. In addition, a model of the planned visitor 

centre is created.

abstract = {In the rural regions of Iran, the smaller villages have to make some independent efforts to build a 

water supply infrastructure. Since the village of Hamzehlu is located near the Douzlak salt dome, 

where archaeologically valuable finds are repeatedly made, the Gerda Henkel Foundation is 

financing the construction of an infrastructure to supply the village with both service and drinking 

water. During stays on site, the terrain was explored and pump tests have been carried out. Based 

on the villagers' water consumption, in this thesis the infrastructure is designed, its construction is 

planned and an economic efficiency analysis is carried out.

A total of six variants of the infrastructure were developed. Three of them refer to the different 

wells which are available for supply; the remaining three variants refer to the various locations for a

planned visitor center which is to be realized in a further project. The evaluation of the individual 

variants led to the Reza abaad well being recommended as a supply well for the infrastructure. 

Furthermore, the location on the plateau above the village received the best rating as the location 

for the future visitor center.

Due to the high total concentration of dissolved solids (TDS) of the region's groundwater, only a 

reverse osmosis plant can be considered as a treatment plant. This relatively expensive process can 

produce water of sufficient drinking water quality. The difficulty here is that the price of the plant 

components also pushes up the price of water. The cost analysis of the preferred variant 

combination has shown, that the total investment costs are 21.680,26 å for the Iranian offer and 

additional personnel costs of 5.045,70 å are required to build the structures. The annual operating
