Indicators
6.3.1
6.3.2
Definition
The indicator is compiled by the Danish Environmental Agency and is in line with the definition. Data from urban sewage systems are from a database with total information on general treatment of waste water in Denmark. Data about individual solutions for treatment (mostly in rural areas) are from the Building register. Not safely treated waste water is primarily from scattered buildings using sceptic tanks with drain to surface water.
