Groundwater constitutes 99% of the Earth’s liquid freshwater and is crucial for human health, economic development, ecosystem sustainability. This study assesses groundwater sustainability in Denmark by employing a comprehensive hydrological model set ensemble indicators. The paper describes methodology results based on nine selected Three indicators focus recharge capture aquifer sustainability, one focuses level wetland capture, two baseflow drainage flow three eco capture. Our findings highlight that while overall exploitable resources are estimated at 1.1 billion m3/year, significant regional disparities exist, with certain areas, notably Zealand, facing over-exploitation rates exceeding 250% sustainable limits. developed not only provide framework assessing current resource limits, but also serve as basis future monitoring adaptive management strategies. research underscores need stakeholder engagement integrated approaches to ensure face growing anthropogenic pressures climate change. work contributes ongoing discourse water offers robust
