Moisture Content is generally used as a key component to describe the water present in [[WDF]] which in turn affects the quality and energy content of the [[WDF]]. The impact on the energy value or [[NCV]] is a key factor in determining the ability of an [[~~EFW~~]] facility being able to receive the material and the [[Gate Fee]] that is charged<ref name="foo">WRAP, 2019.

The heating value of the fuel or [[NCV]] decreases with increased Moisture Content, in simple terms the higher the moisture the lower the [[NCV]]. In addition, Moisture Content is an important parameter as: higher Moisture Content increases the volume of [[Flue Gas]] produced per energy unit, requiring larger waste heat boilers and [[Flue Gas]] cleaning equipment;
