Methodological Explanations
The calculations were carried out on the basis of the departmental statistical form 2-TP vodkhoz "Report on the intake, use and disposal of water". The indicator is calculated as the volume of water used to meet the household drinking and other needs of the population (including employees of enterprises) per capita. The volume of domestic water consumption is determined by measuring the volume of water supplied primarily through centralized water supply networks. The water consumption of the population that does not have access to centralized water supply is determined by calculation. Household water consumption per capita is calculated by dividing the volume of water consumption by the number of permanent population. To determine the indicator, data from enterprises and organizations engaged in water supply to the population and data from local authorities are used.
