    Several measures were made to ensure quality control in the survey, such as the training of the fieldworkers on main skills before the start of data collection, and conducting field visits to field researchers to ensure the integrity of data collection, in addition to conducting a re-interview for 5% of the establishments. Audit of questionnaires was carried out before data entry, and then a program was used that does not allow any mistakes during the process of data entry. Data was examined to ensure that they were free from errors not previously discovered. After the receipt of the raw data file, cleaning and inspection of the anomalous values was made, and also inspection of the consistency between the different questions on the questionnaire.

    Data appraisal

    Estimates of Sampling Error

    Sampling Error: These types of errors evolved as a result of studying a part of the society and not all of it, and because this survey is sample based, the data of this survey will be affected by sampling errors due to using a sample and not the whole frame of the society, and therefore differences appear compared with the actual values that could be obtained through a census. For this survey, variance calculations were made for amounts of water consumed in the economic establishments by region and activity, and the main source of obtaining water in the economic establishments by region and activity.
