About this metric

biodegradable liquid waste

Sewage is liquid waste. Biodegradable liquid waste is the organic portion. We convert from a volume of sewage to a mass of liquid waste using the density of liquid waste.

Biodegradable liquid waste = liquid waste * organic proportion of liquid waste

Used to calculate: non-biodegradable liquid waste

Depends upon:

—Parameters: density of liquid waste and organic proportion of liquid waste

—Other metrics: ecosystem area and sewage from people
