Structure NAMWA

NAMWA exists of three parts:

1. Economic accounts, primarily based on the national accounts (euros)

2. Emission accounts, based on emission registration (kg)

3. Water extraction and discharge account, based on the water survey (m3)

Economic parameters

– National: overview of the expenses (vertical) and receipts (horizontal) with specific attention to water (waterboards, sewage taxes etc.)

– Regional: production, use, value added, number of employees per industry
