Freshwater availability is expected to decrease further in some parts of the continent, such as the Iberian Peninsula, due to decreasing precipitation and increasing temperature and evapotranspiration (EEA, 2019g, 2017e, 2016h). The situation will be aggravated by random drought events, which are becoming more frequent and intense in the context of climate change(EEA, 2019g). In other parts of the continent, such as northern Europe, freshwater availability is expected to increase. This is due to projected increases in precipitation, including heavy precipitation that creates problems with excess water (e.g. floods). However, even these areas are projected to face higher temperatures and evapotranspiration, less snow, and more frequent and intense droughts than at present (Section 3.2).
