The European Environment Agency – EEA new report Towards Efficient use of water resources in Europe, launched on 13 March describes the state of Europe water resources and proposes mechanisms to increase the water use efficiency.
“Water resources are under pressure in many parts of Europe, and it is getting worse”, says EEA Executive Director Jacqueline McGlade. Some vital efforts to avoid water scarcity in Europe are orientated to potential efficiency gains in irrigation systems and in the public water supply and the coordination between water and energy legislation.
