Today, 41 of the worlds population lives in river basins that are under water.
#TOAU WATER PLUS#
Overall, Europe needs to strengthen the resilience of its ecosystems and use water more efficiently to minimise the impacts of water stress on people and the environment. By 2025, two-thirds of the worlds population may face water shortages. AutoBlend Plus automates the formulation of mobile phases from reservoirs of pure solvents or concentrated stock solutions.
In those areas, agriculture, public water supply and tourism put the main pressures on water availability with significant seasonal peak in summer.
The trends are especially worrying for southern and south-western Europe where river discharge during summer could decline by up to 40 %, under a 3☌ temperature rise scenario. Droughts and water scarcity are no longer rare or extreme events in Europe, and about 20 % of the European territory and 30 % of Europeans are affected by water stress during an average year, the EEA report says.Ĭlimate change is expected to make the problem worse, as droughts are increasing in frequency, magnitude and impact. Water stress - a situation where there is not enough water of sufficient quality to meet the demands of people and the environment - is already a reality in many parts of Europe. The EEA report ‘ Water resources across Europe - confronting water stress: an updated assessment’ presents the latest knowledge about water availability in Europe arguing for a shift from crisis management to risk management, including focusing more measures that address water consumption.
