Reducing pressure on woodland resources
Expert365 supports access to monitored, disinfected drinking water that can reduce household dependence on biomass and firewood used for boiling.
The challenge
In communities where drinking water is boiled using firewood or other biomass, daily water treatment can contribute to pressure on local woodland resources. The scale of this relationship depends on household practices, fuel type and the monitored volume of water.
What HECTOR does
Safe water without household boiling
HECTOR centrally disinfects community drinking water, helping reduce the need for repeated household boiling.
Measured operating activity
The platform records water volume, monitoring period, system performance, households, sites and device data.
Calculated woodland benefit
Approved fuel-use assumptions and conversion factors translate measured activity into an estimate of wood or biomass avoided.
What we measure
Current impact
Live SDG 15 indicators retrieved from the Expert365 API for each VPA.
Values come from SDGDATA in the approved Expert365 API response. Indicator units and methodology should be confirmed with Expert365 before publication.
Evidence and reporting
Evidence may include timestamped telemetry, monitored water volume, household and site records, the reporting period, the fraction of non-renewable biomass and approved conversion factors. Calculated wood savings must be distinguished from directly measured forestry outcomes or independently verified changes in woodland condition.
