“Chhipi-Shrestha et al. developed a framework to assess the sustainability performance of urban water and wastewater systems, especially as it relates to small to medium-sized systems,” said Tim Ellis, WER editor-in-chief. “Their ranking system allows users to not only evaluate existing systems, but to assess the sustainability of future systems as well. A total of 38 performance indicators spanning technical, environmental, economic, social and institutional aspects were selected for inclusion in the framework.
Selected WER articles such as this one are available free to the public on a monthly basis through an open-access program.
