Percentile of moisture of the entire waste stream handled for the day – measured sub-stream wise with a hygrometer and with adjustments calculated against the weight of the said sub-stream.
- Expected average – < 15%
Averages
Intervening Variables
- Adverse Climatic Conditions
- Poor segregation due to lack of sanitation staff during public holidays – Tourist Influxes – and Fairs & Festivals.
Confounding Variables
- Absence of trained key personnel leading to observation errors.
- Special Activities such as clearing of backlogs.
- Special single streams can affect observation

OBSERVATIONS
Yearly Trends
- Seasonal variations fairly consistent since since February 2024
- Recordings made in 2024 to be largely ignored due to obvious observer bias, no supportive evidence found in any of the other monitoring parameters
- Lower percentiles during current years can be attributed to better recording methodologies chiefly sampling and interpolation to weight
Six Month Trend
- Percentiles higher during during wet spells except for a few isolated abrupt spikes which can be due to observer error
- Averages on the whole are much higher than the national average even during very dry spells
31-Day Trend
- The last two spikes to be ignored as they indicate observer error due to improper sampling
- Assessment not made on Sundays as re-sorting is not carried out cf. KPI-6
Compartmentalisation of delivery vehicles recommended as the high moisture content seen during dry spells is chiefly due to seepage of wet waste content, such a measure will help in recovery of paper and related
