Urban water and nutrient flows in Kumasi, Ghana por Erni, M., Bader, H.P., Drechsel, Pay, Scheidegger, R., Zurbrugg, C., Kipfer, R.

“…The water-nutrient balance shows that total nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) outputs of the modelled area are 10 times higher than system inputs, most of this being attributed to human wastes from sanitation. A number of possible measures to reduce nutrient flows into water bodies were identified and quantified, showing the usefulness of the applied model in providing estimates for municipal decision-makers.…”
