About
Monitoring the efficiency and reach of national sanitation infrastructure is vital for assessing public health and environmental protection. Evaluating the connection of resident populations to urban wastewater collecting systems and specific treatment plants provides a quantitative look at how different nations manage their liquid waste. By providing standardised annual measures, these records offer insights into the state of global water management, ensuring that urban environments remain sustainable and that public access to clean water is prioritised within national agendas.
Columns
- VAR: The shorthand identifier for the specific measurement category, such as public total treatment or sewerage connectivity.
- Measures: The full description of the statistical metric, identifying the specific type of wastewater treatment or collection system being monitored.
- COU: A three-letter international code representing the specific country being measured.
- Country: The full name of the nation, providing clear geographic context for the data points.
- YEA: The numeric year the data point was recorded in the registry.
- Year: The calendar year of the measure, specifically highlighting annual data from 2017 and 2018.
- Unit Code: The abbreviated code for the unit of measurement, confirming the scale used for the values.
- Unit: The descriptive label for the measurement unit, confirming that the records are typically recorded as percentages.
- PowerCode Code: A numeric code indicating the power of ten used to scale the measurement values.
- PowerCode: The descriptive label for the power code, confirming the base units of the provided statistics.
Distribution
The data is delivered in a CSV format titled
WATER_TREAT_23102020144712652.csv, with a file size of 53.56 kB. It contains 382 valid records structured across 10 identified columns. The dataset maintains perfect integrity with 100% validity and zero mismatched or missing entries, ensuring a reliable foundation for analysis. This is a static resource with a usability score of 10.00 and an expected update frequency of never.Usage
This resource is ideal for evaluating the progress of national sanitation goals and comparing international water management standards. It can be used to model the relationship between urban development and environmental health or to benchmark the effectiveness of different wastewater treatment strategies across borders. Analysts can also utilise these figures to identify regions requiring infrastructure investment or to support academic research into sustainable urbanisation and public health trends.
Coverage
The geographic scope is international, encompassing 27 unique countries including Australia and Denmark. Temporally, the records focus on the years 2017 and 2018, providing a targeted view of global sanitation levels during that period. The demographic focus is on the resident population connected to urban collecting systems, reflecting the reach of public infrastructure in various economic contexts.

Who Can Use It
Environmental researchers can leverage these records to study the impact of wastewater management on local ecosystems. Policy makers and urban planners can utilise the statistics to justify infrastructure upgrades and monitor compliance with international environmental standards. Additionally, public health analysts can use the data to correlate sanitation access with regional health outcomes and disease prevention.
