According to the estimation of the water exploitation index (WEI+)⁽[1]⁾ about 13 % of the European territory suffers from all year round water stress conditions, and at least 120 million people are affected permanently by significant water stress in these areas. Assessments in this report underlines that the seasonal and structural water stress might be exacerbated in the future as well. Further information on the current state and future projections on water stress in Europe is provided in  Chapter 5 of this report.
