Additional Metric Notes

ACT-D stage: Transform Maturity stage: Advancing Metric Contribution to Action: Monitoring treated and reused wastewater helps reduce pollutant loads entering natural water bodies and improves water efficiency. Observations/Sucesses/Challenges: > The metric depends on a reference baseline, but variations in water use, climate, and operational changes can complicate comparisons.
