6.2.1b Proportion of population with a handwashing facility with soap and water available at home in Greenland, by service level and location (2022)
Water quality and wastewater
6.3.1 Proportion of wastewater flow (safely) treated > Domestic in Greenland (2022), compared to other countries (and areas) in the region
6.3.1 Proportion of wastewater flow (safely) treated in Greenland, by source (2022)
6.3.2 Level 1 Proportion of bodies of water with good ambient water quality in Greenland (2023), compared to other countries (and areas) in the region
Water use and scarcity
Water resources and withdrawal in Greenland, total and per capita
Long-term average annual precipitation in depth: (mm/year) ()
Renewable water resources: m3 per capita ()
Water withdrawal: m3 per capita ()
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 Greenland, change over time, compared to other countries (and areas) in the region
6.4.1 Change in water-use efficiency over time in Greenland, by sector
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).
6.4.1 Change in water-use efficiency over time in Greenland, progress over time, compared to other countries (and areas) in the region
