Spatial Analysis has been applied in this study for defining the area which is served by the sewage network and the area which is not served by sewage network, and calculating percentage of each area. GIS has been used to calculate the capacity of the existing sewage network and the Sewage treatment plants in the study area. Spatial Analysis has been applied to define the impacts of Gonotropical Cyclone on the sewage network in the study area. GIS has been used to evaluate the suitability of the current location of the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP). GIS has been used to Search for the best location for Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) in the study area. Finally,GIS has been used fordefining the best size for future Sewage Treatment Plant (STP).
