News about this publication

The water we eat — irrigated agriculture's heavy toll

The water we eat — irrigated agriculture's heavy toll Agriculture imposes a heavy and growing burden on Europe's water resources, threatening water shortages and damage to ecosystems. To achieve sustainable water use, farmers must be given the right price incentives, advice and assistance.

Golf courses and washing machines: obstacles and opportunities for sustainable water management

Golf courses and washing machines: obstacles and opportunities for sustainable water management Rising standards of living often boost demand for water-intensive goods and services. Only by managing water consumption — using measures such as water pricing and incentives to adopt new technologies — can we ensure sustainable public water access alongside economic growth.
