Between 1990 and 2017, the available water per inhabitant decreased in southern, western and northern Europe. An increase was observed in eastern Europe. These changes were largely driven by trends in population rather than climate change. For example: in western Europe, the annual renewable freshwater resources increased by 4 % while the regional population increased by 11 %. In eastern Europe there was an increase in renewable freshwater resources, but there was also a reduction (-6 %) in the regional population (EEA, 2018b).
