          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.

Editing before data entry: all questionnaires were edited again in the office using the same instructions adopted for editing in the fields.
Data entry: In this stage data were entered into the computer, using Access database. 

The data entry program was prepared to satisfy a number of requirements such as:
- Duplication of the questionnaire on the computer screen.
- Logical and consistency check of data entered.
- Possibility for internal editing of questions answers.
- Maintaining a minimum of digital data entry and fieldwork errors.
- User-Friendly handling.

          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.

        <![CDATA[Several measures were adopted to minimize the effects of these errors. The interviewers, editors and coders underwent intensive training and were provided with fieldwork manuals to consult when facing any problem.

The data entry program was designed in a way that allows error detection and correction. This applies particularly to logical errors that might not be discovered before data entry operations.  A consistency check was also performed to assure accuracy after data entry.

These errors are due to non-response cases as well as the implementation of surveys. In this survey, these errors emerged because of (a) the special situation of the questionnaire itself which depends on type of estimation; (b) diversity of sources (e.g. the interviewers, respondent, editors, coders, data entry operator, etc). 

It is important to mention that 5% from the sample of this survey was re-interviewed, and the results of this re-interview were reported by the supervisors. The re-interview shows the variance in estimation by interviewers for quantities of water consumed and solid waste produced, when the interviewer who answers for the main survey questionnaire is different from the one who answers the re-interview questionnaire.

                                   3,458

Response rate = 100% - none response rate
                       = 100% - 16.4% = 83.6% 

The none response cases were treated using adjustment groups (strata) and the following equation shows this

Comparability
The data of the environmental economic survey is comparable geographically and against time; the results when comparing the data between different geographical areas and when comparing the data of this survey with the data of previous rounds were typical and there were no significant differences.

        <![CDATA[Several measures were adopted to minimize the effects of these errors. The interviewers, editors and coders underwent intensive training and were provided with fieldwork manuals to consult when facing any problem.

The data entry program was designed in a way that allows error detection and correction. This applies particularly to logical errors that might not be discovered before data entry operations.  A consistency check was also performed to assure accuracy after data entry.

These errors are due to non-response cases as well as the implementation of surveys. In this survey, these errors emerged because of (a) the special situation of the questionnaire itself which depends on type of estimation; (b) diversity of sources (e.g. the interviewers, respondent, editors, coders, data entry operator, etc). 

It is important to mention that 5% from the sample of this survey was re-interviewed, and the results of this re-interview were reported by the supervisors. The re-interview shows the variance in estimation by interviewers for quantities of water consumed and solid waste produced, when the interviewer who answers for the main survey questionnaire is different from the one who answers the re-interview questionnaire.

Comparability
The data of the environmental economic survey is comparable geographically and against time; the results when comparing the data between different geographical areas and when comparing the data of this survey with the data of previous rounds were typical and there were no significant differences.

Data Quality Assurance Procedures
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.]]>

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.]]>

The data entry program was designed in a way that allows error detection and correction. This applies particularly to logical errors that might not be discovered before data entry operations.  A consistency check was also performed to assure accuracy after data entry.

These errors are due to non-response cases as well as the implementation of surveys. In this survey, these errors emerged because of (a) the special situation of the questionnaire itself which depends on type of estimation; (b) diversity of sources (e.g. the interviewers, respondent, editors, coders, data entry operator, etc). 

It is important to mention that 5% from the sample of this survey was re-interviewed, and the results of this re-interview were reported by the supervisors. The re-interview shows the variance in estimation by interviewers for quantities of water consumed and solid waste produced, when the interviewer who answers for the main survey questionnaire is different from the one who answers the re-interview questionnaire.

The data of the environmental economic survey is comparable geographically and against time; the results when comparing the data between different geographical areas and when comparing the data of this survey with the data of previous rounds were typical and there were no significant differences.

Data Quality Assurance Procedures
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.]]>

The data entry program was designed in a way that allows error detection and correction. This applies particularly to logical errors that might not be discovered before data entry operations.  A consistency check was also performed to assure accuracy after data entry.

These errors are due to non-response cases as well as the implementation of surveys. In this survey, these errors emerged because of (a) the special situation of the questionnaire itself which depends on type of estimation; (b) diversity of sources (e.g. the interviewers, respondent, editors, coders, data entry operator, etc). 

It is important to mention that 5% from the sample of this survey was re-interviewed, and the results of this re-interview were reported by the supervisors. The re-interview shows the variance in estimation by interviewers for quantities of water consumed and solid waste produced, when the interviewer who answers for the main survey questionnaire is different from the one who answers the re-interview questionnaire.

        <![CDATA[Several measures were adopted to minimize the effects of these errors. The interviewers, editors and coders underwent intensive training and were provided with fieldwork manuals to consult when facing any problem.

The data entry program was designed in a way that allows error detection and correction. This applies particularly to logical errors that might not be discovered before data entry operations.  A consistency check was also performed to assure accuracy after data entry.

These errors are due to non-response cases as well as the implementation of surveys. In this survey, these errors emerged because of (a) the special situation of the questionnaire itself which depends on type of estimation; (b) diversity of sources (e.g. the interviewers, respondent, editors, coders, data entry operator, etc). 

It is important to mention that 5% from the sample of this survey was re-interviewed, and the results of this re-interview were reported by the supervisors. The re-interview shows the variance in estimation by interviewers for quantities of water consumed and solid waste produced, when the interviewer who answers for the main survey questionnaire is different from the one who answers the re-interview questionnaire.

Comparability
The data of the environmental economic survey is comparable geographically and against time; the results when comparing the data between different geographical areas and when comparing the data of this survey with the data of previous rounds were typical and there were no significant differences.

Data Quality Assurance Procedures
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.]]>

The re-interview shows the variance in estimation by interviewers for quantities of water consumed and solid waste produced, when the interviewer who answers for the main survey questionnaire is different from the one who answers the re-interview questionnaire.

Comparability
The data of the environmental economic survey is comparable geographically and against time; the results when comparing the data between different geographical areas and when comparing the data of this survey with the data of previous rounds were typical and there were no significant differences.

Data Quality Assurance Procedures
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.]]>

        <![CDATA[Several measures were adopted to minimize the effects of these errors. The interviewers, editors and coders underwent intensive training and were provided with fieldwork manuals to consult when facing any problem.

The data entry program was designed in a way that allows error detection and correction. This applies particularly to logical errors that might not be discovered before data entry operations.  A consistency check was also performed to assure accuracy after data entry.

These errors are due to non-response cases as well as the implementation of surveys. In this survey, these errors emerged because of (a) the special situation of the questionnaire itself which depends on type of estimation; (b) diversity of sources (e.g. the interviewers, respondent, editors, coders, data entry operator, etc). 

It is important to mention that 5% from the sample of this survey was re-interviewed, and the results of this re-interview were reported by the supervisors. The re-interview shows the variance in estimation by interviewers for quantities of water consumed and solid waste produced, when the interviewer who answers for the main survey questionnaire is different from the one who answers the re-interview questionnaire.

Comparability
The data of the environmental economic survey is comparable geographically and against time; the results when comparing the data between different geographical areas and when comparing the data of this survey with the data of previous rounds were typical and there were no significant differences.

Data Quality Assurance Procedures
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.]]>

It is important to mention that 5% from the sample of this survey was re-interviewed, and the results of this re-interview were reported by the supervisors. The re-interview shows the variance in estimation by interviewers for quantities of water consumed and solid waste produced, when the interviewer who answers for the main survey questionnaire is different from the one who answers the re-interview questionnaire.

Comparability
The data of the environmental economic survey is comparable geographically and against time; the results when comparing the data between different geographical areas and when comparing the data of this survey with the data of previous rounds were typical and there were no significant differences.

Data Quality Assurance Procedures
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.]]>

        <![CDATA[Several measures were adopted to minimize the effects of these errors. The interviewers, editors and coders underwent intensive training and were provided with fieldwork manuals to consult when facing any problem.

The data entry program was designed in a way that allows error detection and correction. This applies particularly to logical errors that might not be discovered before data entry operations.  A consistency check was also performed to assure accuracy after data entry.

These errors are due to non-response cases as well as the implementation of surveys. In this survey, these errors emerged because of (a) the special situation of the questionnaire itself which depends on type of estimation; (b) diversity of sources (e.g. the interviewers, respondent, editors, coders, data entry operator, etc). 

It is important to mention that 5% from the sample of this survey was re-interviewed, and the results of this re-interview were reported by the supervisors. The re-interview shows the variance in estimation by interviewers for quantities of water consumed and solid waste produced, when the interviewer who answers for the main survey questionnaire is different from the one who answers the re-interview questionnaire. 

None response rate =  Sum of none response cases   x 100%
                                            Net sample
                               =   567    x 100% = 16.4%
                                   3,458

Response rate = 100% - none response rate
                       = 100% - 16.4% = 83.6% 

The none response cases were treated using adjustment groups (strata) and the following equation shows this 



Where

  Total weights in g group
 Total weights over coverage
   Total weights responding in the survey

Each unit is given fg value for the interval lies in and finally we get  using the following equation 



Comparability
The data of the environmental economic survey is comparable geographically and against time; the results when comparing the data between different geographical areas and when comparing the data of this survey with the data of previous rounds were typical and there were no significant differences.

Data Quality Assurance Procedures
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.]]>
