Preparing for water resilience: Mapping the water needs of the EU energy system
The EU energy sector's water needs are a critical aspect of its operations, with significant implications for water resources management and policymaking. With droughts and heatwaves expected to become more frequent and intense due to the effects of climate change, exacerbating water stress in the EU, it is important to quantify the water needs of the energy sector now and in the future.
This brief provides an estimation of the water required by all the activities related to the supply of energy in the EU.
