The European Environment Agency (EEA) has released a new briefing highlighting the urgent need to rethink how water is used across Europe to build long-term resilience against droughts and water scarcity. The publication, Water savings for a water-resilient Europe, explores how sustainable water management can be achieved by using less, polluting less, and reusing more. It calls for stronger integration of water-saving measures into key sectors (Figure 1) like agriculture, industry, and households, alongside nature-based solutions to restore ecosystems and recharge groundwater.
The EEA stresses that smart governance, innovative technology, and public awareness are vital to ensure Europe’s water resources can sustain people, nature, and the economy amid a changing climate.
