Chart of the month March

On the occasion of World Water Day, which takes place on 22 March, we take a look at the percentage of population connected to at least sesondary (biological) wastewater treatment. (Primary wastewater treatment are physical processes. Tertiary wastewater treatment uses chemical and physcial processes to eliminate non-biodegradable pollutants.) The chart shows that almost every Austrian household is connected to secondary or better wastewater treatment. THe numbers in the other Centrope countries are significantly lower, but steadily catching up. Data source: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/view/sdg_06_20/default/table

Did you know?

These are the names of the four Centrope coutries in their respective languages (and English):

CentropeMAP/STATISTICS is a cross-border information system and free geoportal of the Austrian Planning Association East (PGO) which gives planners, decision makers, researchers, teachers, students and everyone else interested a better overview of the Centrope region.

CentropeMAP is a geoportal connecting the region by collecting web map services from the partner countries. The services are brought together in a single map viewer and allow the user to experience a cross-border working area with dozens of data layers dealing with all topics which could be of interest for regional planners and similar professions. Layers are coming from the fields of biota, boundaries, elevation, imagery/base maps, inland waters, planning/cadastre, structure, and transportation.

CentropeSTATISTICS is the only available free web tool to visualise cross-border statistical data in its own connected geoportal allowing the user to influence the way of visualisation in multiple ways in the Centrope region. CentropeSTATISTICS can not only create maps, it also serves charts which are interactively created from the data in the cross-border database. For the Czech Republic, CentropeSTATISTICS does not only cover the Centrope county Jihomoravský, but also features data from the counties Vysočina and Jihočesky which are also adjacent or close to the Austrian border.
