Pollutants: nitrogen, phosphorus, triclosan, Cryptosporidium, and microplastics
Sources: point (sewage and open defecation)
Main inputs: population with the sewage connections, removal efficiencies, excretion consumption rates of pollutants per capita
Main outputs: inputs of multiple pollutants to rivers by source and sub-basin
Modelling approach
