Water management in Europe faces rising challenges as ecosystems weaken http://www.eea.europa.eu/pressroom/newsreleases/water-management-in-europe-faces?utm_source=EEASubscriptions&utm_medium=RSSFeeds&utm_campaign=Generic Water pollution and excessive water use are still harming ecosystems, which are indispensable to Europe’s food, energy, and water supplies. To maintain water ecosystems, farming, planning, energy and transport sectors need to actively engage in managing water within sustainable limits.

Soil sealing degrees are represented in coloured dots. The city dots are overlaid onto a modelled map displaying the change in annual number of days with heavy rainfall between the reference periods 1961-1990 and 2071-2100.
