4.2 Measuring the capacity of water and wastewater systems

A closer examination and comparison of information from various data sources resulted in the identification of specific data points to estimate the capacity of a water system. Figure 1 highlights some of the data fields found in water compliance reports and government databases.

And for wastewater systems, the following data points or data fields were identified:

The data scan by Neptis identified more than 30 data sources at the municipal, provincial, and federal levels that provide useful data on municipal water and wastewater infrastructure capacity and environmental constraints in the GGH.
