Population Equivalent Defined

The estimated population which would contribute a given amount of a specific waste parameter (BOD5, suspended solids, flow); usually applied to industrial waste. Domestic wastewater contains material that consumes, on the average, 0.17 lb (0.08 kg) of oxygen per capita per day, as measured by the standard BOD test. For example, if an industry discharges 1,000 pounds (454 kg) of BOD per day, its waste is equivalent to the domestic wastewater from 6,000 people (1,000/0.17 = approx 6,000).

This definition is in context to Sanitation. See more contextual defintions for Population Equivalent.
