In 2019, 16% of the EU-27 territory and 26% of its population were affected by water scarcity conditions for at least three quarters of the year. Temporary water scarcity conditions, only for one quarter of the year, affected another 15% of the EU-27 territory and 23% of its population[1]. Despite total water abstraction declined by 15 % in the EU-27 between 2000-2019, no explicit downward trend is observed for population and area affected by water scarcity conditions.


[1] At EEA-38 level, 17% of the territory and 38% of the population were affected by water scarcity conditions at least in one quarter of 2019.
