Today, as Greenland focuses on more economic and cultural autonomy, the continued development of societal infrastructure systems is vital. At the same time, pressure is put on the systems by a lack of financial resources and locally based professional competences as well as new market-based forms of organization. Against this background, the article discusses the challenges facing Greenland's self-rule in relation to further develop the existing water and wastewater systems so that they can contribute to the sustainable development of Greenland. The article reviews the historical development of the water supply and wastewater system. This leads to an analysis of the sectorisation, which in recent decades has reorganized the Greenlandic infrastructures, and of how this process is influencing local sustainable development. The article discusses the socio-economic and human impacts and points to the need for developing the water and sanitation system to support not only hygiene and health, but also local sustainable development.
如今，随着格陵兰岛更加注重经济和文化自治，社会基础设施系统的持续发展至关重要。与此同时，缺乏财政资源和本地专业能力以及新的基于市场的组织形式给这些系统带来了压力。在此背景下，本文讨论了格陵兰自治所面临的挑战，即进一步发展现有的供水和污水处理系统，以使它们能够为格陵兰的可持续发展做出贡献。本文回顾了供水和污水处理系统的历史发展。这导致了对部门化的分析，近几十年来，部门化重组了格陵兰的基础设施，以及这一过程如何影响当地的可持续发展。本文讨论了社会经济和人类影响，并指出需要发展水和卫生系统，不仅要支持卫生和健康，还要支持当地的可持续发展。
