Knowledge base

Solution providers should read the requirement ‘Understand sampling’ in the Solution Provider Toolkit that informs them how to calculate the average flow rate. 

In summary

Solution Providers must evaluate and test wastewater based on a threshold flow rate of 15m3/day . To verify whether a supplier falls above or below this baseline, the laboratory must compute the average flow rate using the formula:

Flow rate (m³/day) = Annual wastewater generated in m³

                                Total number of working days per year
