Machinery and equipment and Water and sanitation

Water and sanitation buys from Machinery and equipment; water and sanitation depends on machinery and equipment.

Machinery and equipment (industry) and Water and sanitation (industry): 2 relationships.

How they are linked

1. Buys from

Physical flow · ₹1.4 per ₹100 · Water and sanitation buys from Machinery and equipment

Water and sanitation buys goods or services from Machinery and equipment; counted through every round of supply, ₹1.4 of each ₹100 of its output goes to them (OECD input-output tables, India 2022).

  • ₹1.4 of every ₹100 of Water and sanitation output, all rounds
  • ₹0.7 bought directly

2. Industry input

Physical flow · Criticality 4 of 5 · Machinery and equipment → Water and sanitation

2 of the enterprise types in Water and sanitation depend on machinery and equipment.

Enterprise types that depend on it:

  • Sewerage and sewage-treatment plant operators: blowers, screens and dewatering (criticality 4 of 5)
  • Pump, valve and meter makers: pump assemblies and machining (criticality 3 of 5)
