Provincial Green Drop Score
(Show footnote)
Provincial performance profiles are the summation of the respective municipal performances. Each Province has different dynamics with municipal participants that perform exceptionally well, on average, unsatisfactory or very poorly.

Comparative Analysis of Provincial Performance
(Show footnote)
Provincial performance profiles are the summation of the respective municipal performances. Each Province has different dynamics with municipal participants that perform exceptionally well, on average, unsatisfactory or very poorly. The key performance indicators are compared for benchmarking and self assessment purposes.

From the above analysis, it can be seen that Western Cape, followed by Kwa-Zulu Natal and Gauteng are producing the high performing wastewater systems. Eastern Cape, followed by Free State, Northern Cape and Limpopo are producing the bulk of systems that are in critical and poor performing positions.

Distribution of WWTPs per Size Category
(Show footnote)
The Green Drop assessment results verified a spread of treatment plants across the country to comprise predominantly (73%) of micro-, small- and medium sized plants. Sixty-seven percent (67%) of design capacity is contained at macro-size plants, which are mostly located in the larger cities.

Design Capacity and Operational Flow Distribution
(Show footnote)
A total flow of 5258 Ml/day is received at the 821 treatment facilities, which has a collective hydraulic design capacity of 6614 Ml/day (as ADWF). This means that 80% of the design capacity is taken up by the current operational flows, leaving 20% to meet the future demand without creating new capacity.

However, the findings of the Green Drop assessment suggest that a significant portion of this existing ‘surplus capacity’ might not be readily available, as result of inadequate maintenance and operational deficiencies, especially at lower capacity municipalities.

The opposite scenario is also possible at high capacity municipalities, where infrastructure can usually cope with flows that exceed the theoretical design capacity without compromising the final effluent capacity. This attainment is however, dependant on qualified and experienced plant management and scientific services.

Analysis of the operational flows indicate that Gauteng manages the bulk of the national load which account for 49%, followed by 17% in the Western Cape and 14% in Kwa-Zulu Natal. The balance of the provinces receives and treats the remainder 20% of wastewater generated in South Africa.
