Definition
The indicator is calculated by Statistics Denmark based on the water accounts and measures value added, expressed in chained 2020 prices, relative to water consumption. The water accounts form part of Statistics Denmark's Green National Accounts, and the indicator is therefore in accordance with the principles of the international System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA 2012), published by the UN, the World Bank, the IMF, the OECD and Eurostat.
