The AQUASTAT portal enables users to access the core database of country statistics, focused on water resources, water uses and agricultural water management. Along with it, other water information in the form of complementary databases, such as the irrigated crop calendars and the sub-national irrigation areas databases, the detailed database on dams and reservoirs and the water-and agriculture-related institutions database are available. The glossary is also an important component of AQUASTAT, offering multilingual definitions of 500+ water-related terms and key indicators, including detailed reference sources and links to related terms.

This is benchmark model for wastewater treatment using an activated sludge process. The activated sludge process is a means of treating both municipal and industrial wastewater. The activated sludge process is a multi-chamber reactor unit that uses highly concentrated microorganisms to degrade organics and remove nutrients from wastewater, producing quality effluent. This model provides pollutant concentrations, mass balance, electricity requirements, and treatment costs. This model will be continuously updated based on the latest data.

SARS-CoV-2 RNA (N1 and N2 genes) and PMMoV RNA concentrations in primary effluent from the ARA Werdhölzli were determined for the period of September 2020-January 2021. COVID-19 cases in the catchment area are also reported for comparison of RNA concentrations to clinical case data. Data are included in an analysis of COVID-19 disease trajectory overtime.

The City Water Map (CWM), version 2.2, contains information on the water sources for cities internationally. For surface or alluvial groundwater sources, the upstream contributing area is defined. To ease use of the database, information on the spatial locations of the cities shown is also provided. For some cities, information is also available on how wastewater is treated and released, although this part of the database has not been fully developed. The CWM was used as part of a SNAPP working group on Latin America water security. It was also used as part of the Urban Water Blueprint analysis.

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are implicated as hotspots for the dissemination of antibacterial resistance into the environment. However, the in situ processes governing removal, persistence, and evolution of resistance genes during wastewater treatment remain poorly understood. Here, we used quantitative metagenomic and metatranscriptomic approaches to achieve a broad-spectrum view of the flow and expression of genes related to antibacterial resistance to over 20 classes of antibiotics, 65 biocides, and 22 metals. All compartments of 12 WWTPs share persistent resistance genes with detectable transcriptional activities that were comparatively higher in the secondary effluent, where mobility genes also show higher relative abundance and expression ratios. The richness and abundance of resistance genes vary greatly across metagenomes from different treatment compartments, and their relative and absolute abundances correlate with bacterial community composition and biomass concentration. No strong drivers of resistome composition could be identified among the chemical stressors analyzed, although the sub-inhibitory concentration (hundreds of ng/L) of macrolide antibiotics in wastewater correlates with macrolide and vancomycin resistance genes. Contig-based analysis shows considerable co-localization between resistance and mobility genes and implies a history of substantial horizontal resistance transfer involving human bacterial pathogens. Based on these findings, we propose future inclusion of mobility incidence (M%) and host pathogenicity of antibiotic resistance genes in their quantitative health risk ranking models with an ultimate goal to assess the biological significance of wastewater resistomes with regard to disease control in humans or domestic livestock.
