Abstract

Water is one of the key elements that support life, it is part of the human’s and other species’ cells. Freshwater is essential for the survival of most of the Earth’s living organisms both directly as drinking water and indirectly when producing food. This chapter focuses on studying 5 freshwater indicators, namely the total renewable water resources per capita and the total water withdrawal per capita, on the one hand, and on the other hand, the agricultural water withdrawal, the industrial water withdrawal, and the municipal water withdrawal, as percent of total water withdrawal. There are 19 EU countries under analysis, which were selected according to their fulfilling at least one of the two criteria, namely whether they recorded the lowest level of the average total renewable water resources per capita in contrast to the EU’s average of total renewable water resources per capita, and/or whether they registered a decreasing trend of the total renewable water resources per capita throughout the specific period of time. The period under focus varies from 1961–2019 to 1993–2019 according to data available for each country, and the forecast is established for 2020–2050. The results underline worrying situations for some states both at present and in the near and medium future.
