The spatial and temporal variation of freshwater resources is affected by numerous factors, such as global and regional climate circulation, hydrometeorology and local weather patterns, topography, land cover and use, and hydrogeology. Thus, low water availability can be a local issue, which is not compensated by high water availability in another part of the same country or region. Similarly, low water availability can be a temporary issue, which is not compensated by high water availability in another month or season of the year (e.g. a dry summer with a wet winter). National and regional aggregates of freshwater availability should therefore be dealt with caution, as they may obscure the local or seasonal realities, which are encountered by European citizens.
