In 2019, the countries that faced the most significant water scarcity conditions on the annual scale were Cyprus, and Malta (annual WEI+ > 20%; see further Country annual WEI+ results). Cyprus and Malta also showed significant water scarcity conditions on the seasonal scale, followed by Greece, Portugal, Spain and Turkey (seasonal WEI+ > 20%; see further Country seasonal WEI+ results) (Figure 2). In general, water scarcity conditions intensify between July and September in the majority of the EEA-38 countries. This is a combination of dry weather, reduced flows and increased abstractions for irrigated agriculture, tourism and other socio-economic activities during that period of the year.
