A new report by Water Footprint Network on the impacts that increasing water scarcity and drought may have on the European Union’s (EU) economy was launched at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly (EGU).

The study, ‘Dependencies of Europe’s economy on other parts of the world in terms of water resources’, was carried out as part of the H2020 IMPREX project. It finds that around 38% of the EU’s water demand lies outside its borders because many of the goods consumed by its citizens or used by its businesses are produced abroad.
