This study contributes to assessing the resource efficiency of urban sanitation systems using combined cost, energy and material flow analyses (ceMFA). For two case studies, Hamburg in Germany and Arba Minch in Ethiopia, a number of possible system developments were assessed. Introducing appropriate system transformations in sanitation can provide the opportunity to reduce water consumption, increase energy efficiency and recover nutrients for agriculture. The ceMFA model allows the identification of such opportunities and highlights possible trade-offs.
Using this work as a basis for decision support, strategies for implementing more resource efficient systems can be developed.
