Definition
The indicator is calculated by Statistics Denmark. Groundwater abstraction is based on annual figures from the water accounts and is measured relative to an estimated groundwater resource of 1,000 million m³, based on a 2003 report by GEUS. 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.
