Several of the reports EEA in 2012 will deal with the resilience of freshwater dependent ecosystems. While water quality aspects and hydro-morphology are the main aspects defining the status of water bodies as defined by the water framework directive (EEA (report under preparation) 2012a) this report focusses on the quantitative volumes available for the environment. In detail the more extreme situations in terms of water quantity – water scarcity and drought and floods – are assessed in current situation and in relation to the climate change and land use pressures. More about improving water resource efficiency can be found in other EEA reports (most recent: EEA 2012a).
