Comparison of the potential water savings with expected changes in water availability and water demand shows that in some parts of Europe, the current pace of water saving in the economy is sufficient to compensate for the decrease of water availability as a result of climate change. Environmental water demands have not been accounted for in this comparison. The water uses that directly depend on precipitation, such as rain-fed agriculture and terrestrial nature, do not benefit from these water savings. The impacts of increasing climate variability and spatial concentration of water demand for households and industry, too, are not mitigated by increased water use efficiency.
