Graphs for national stats

In 2016, France had 3165 urban waste water agglomerations of more then 2 000 population equivalent (p.e). These agglomerations generated a total load of 71 732 929 p.e. 100% of this load is connected to collecting systems and 0% addressed through Individual and Appropriate Systems (storage or septic tanks, micro-stations,...). These agglomerations are connected to 465 secondary treatment plants and 2823 more stringent treatment plants. All these treatment plants have a total design capacity of 92 890 636 p.e.
