National wastewater-based epidemiological surveillance (WFS)

The national wastewater-based epidemiological surveillance monitors public health parameters in several wastewater treatment plants across Belgium. This webservice contains the results per treatment plant since the beginning of the surveillance in September 2020. The results consist of concentrations over time as well as other data needed for the interpretations such as the flow rates of the treatment plants and the population covered.
