Pollutant loads per capita flowing into public water bodies and environmental accounting housekeeping (EAH) books of domestic wastewater were proposed as an index and a tool for dissemination and environmental education. This paper summarized the index in two drainage areas, Ebigawa River drainage area and the inner city rivers in Chiba City. The indexes were 0.3-5.2 g-COD person-1 day-1, 2.5-4.3 g-N person-1 day-1, and 0.22-0.43 g-P person-1 day-1, in the Ebigawa River drainage area, and 0.83-21 g-BOD person-1 day-1, and 1.2-13 g-COD person-1 day-1 in Chiba City. The effectiveness of the original EAH books, those of CO2, has been considered as not enough. However, researchers should indicate some quantitative and scientific information for the resolution of environmental problems. Actual and effective application of the index and the tool would be possible in the scenes of water pollution problems in developed countries including Japan, and domestic wastewater treatment management in developing countries.
