Drinking water

6.1.1 Proportion of population using safely managed drinking water services in Denmark, progress over time

6.1.1 Proportion of population using safely managed drinking water services in Denmark, by service level and location (2024)

Sanitation and hygiene

6.2.1a Proportion of population using safely managed sanitation services in Denmark, progress over time

6.2.1a Proportion of population using safely managed sanitation services in Denmark, by service level and location (2024)

6.2.1b Proportion of population with a handwashing facility with soap and water available at home in Denmark, by service level and location (2024)

Water quality and wastewater

6.3.1 Proportion of wastewater flow (safely) treated in Denmark, by source (2024)

Change in 6.3.1 Proportion of wastewater flow (safely) treated > Domestic in Denmark, between 2022 and 2024, compared to other countries (and areas) in Northern Europe

Domestic wastewater flow generated, delivered to treatment, and safely treated in Denmark, by sanitation facility (2024) 

Of the total domestic wastewater flow generated in Denmark, 93% comes from sewers, 7% from septic tanks and 0% from other sanitation facilities. The below chart shows how much of the generated flow from each sanitation facility type that is delivered to treatment and then safely treated.

6.3.2 Proportion of bodies of water with good ambient water quality in Denmark (2023), compared to other countries (and areas) in the region

Water use and scarcity

Water resources and withdrawal in Denmark, total and per capita

Long-term average annual precipitation in depth: 703 (mm/year) (2020)

Renewable water resources: 1,046 m3 per capita (2017)

Water withdrawal: 116 m3 per capita (2012)

Environmental flow requirements: % of the renewable water resources ()

6.4.2 Level of water stress: freshwater withdrawal as a proportion of available freshwater resources in Denmark, change over time, compared to other countries (and areas) in the region

6.4.1 Change in water-use efficiency over time in Denmark, by sector (2020)

Water-use efficiency for ‘Agriculture, forestry and fishing’ only takes into account the proportion of gross value added that comes from irrigated agriculture, since that activity is associated with water withdrawal (other activities are rain-fed).
