Water statistics (Eurostat)

External Data Reference Published 19 Apr 2013
Population connected to waste water collection and treatment systems. Yearly data on  waste water treatment (connection rates of resident population to  waste water treatment and treatment capacities of waste water treatment  plants), collected biennially by means of the OECD/Eurostat Joint  Questionnaire - Inland Waters. Data aggregation: national territories.

Indicators using this data

Use of freshwater resources Use of freshwater resources The WEI+ provides a measure of the total water use as a percentage of the renewable freshwater resources for a given territory and time scale.
Emission intensity of the domestic sector in Europe Emission intensity of the domestic sector in Europe This indicator is used to illustrate the emission intensity of the domestic sector (household plus services), expressed as the amount of discharged pollutant from wastewater treatment/or discharged without treatment per inhabitant per year. Furthermore, the indicator shows a decoupling of the emission of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) and population growth across Europe. The values of change (increase/or decrease) in discharged load between 1990 and 2009 (expressed in percentages, where values in 1990 = 100%) are plotted against the values of change in population growth. Absolute decoupling occurs when the environmentally relevant variable is stable or decreasing while the driving force is growing. Relative decoupling occurs when the growth rate of the emission is positive, but less than the population growth rate.
Urban waste water treatment Urban waste water treatment Percentage of population connected to primary, secondary and tertiary wastewater treatment plants. The indicator illustrates: 1. changes in wastewater treatment in the regions of Europe since the 1980s; 2. conformity (in terms of providing tertiary treatment) by Member States with the requirement to provide, by 31 December 1998, stringent treatment for agglomerations with population equivalent (p.e.) more than 10 000 that discharge into sensitive areas; 3. levels of urban wastewater treatment in large cities in the EU (agglomerations >150 000 p.e.).
Use of freshwater resources Use of freshwater resources The water exploitation index (WEI) is the mean annual total abstraction of freshwater divided by the mean annual total renewable freshwater resource at the country level, expressed in percentage terms.

Interactive maps produced

Water exploitation index plus (WEI+) for river basin districts Water exploitation index plus (WEI+) for river basin districts This interactive map allows users to explore changes over time in water abstraction by source and water use by sector at sub-basin or river basin scale. The WEI+ has been calculated as the quarterly average per river basin district, for the years 2002-2014, as defined in the European catchments and rivers network system (ECRINS). The ECRINS delineation of river basin districts differs from that defined by Member States under the Water Framework Directive, particularly for transboundary river basin districts.

Water exploitation index plus for river basin districts Water exploitation index plus for river basin districts The water exploitation index plus has been calculated as a multi-annual average per river basin district, for the years 2002-2012, as defined in ECRINS. The ECRINS delineation of river basin districts differs from those defined by Member States under the Water Framework Directive, particularly for transboundary river basin districts.

Nitrogen emission intensity of domestic sector in 1990, 2000–2009 (EU20 + Switzerland, Norway and Turkey) Nitrogen emission intensity of domestic sector in 1990, 2000–2009 (EU20 + Switzerland, Norway and Turkey) The chart displays changes in nitrogen emission intensity of domestic sector in 1990, 2000 and 2009. Nitrogen emission intensity is expressed as kilogram of nitrogen discharged in water per inhabitant and year. Two sets of values are displayed for emission intensity for 2009. (1) Values calculated on the basis of default population equivalents and treatment efficiencies and (2) values calculated as sum of emission loads reported voluntarily under the UWWTD and calculated load generated by population not connected to waste water treatment.
Phosphorus emission intensity of domestic sector in period 1990, 2000-2009 in 23 European countries (EU20 + Switzerland, Norway and Turkey) Phosphorus emission intensity of domestic sector in period 1990, 2000-2009 in 23 European countries (EU20 + Switzerland, Norway and Turkey) The chart displays changes in phosphorus emission intensity of domestic sector in 1990, 2000 and 2009. Phosphorus emission intensity is expressed as kilogram of phosphorus discharged in water per inhabitant and year. Two sets of values are displayed for emission intensity for 2009. (1) Values calculated on the basis of default population equivalents and treatment efficiencies and (2) values calculated as sum of emission load reported voluntarily under the UWWTD and calculated load generated by population not connected to waste water treatment.
Decoupling of nutrient emissions from urban waste water treatment plants and population growth between 1990 and 2009 ( EU15 + Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Turkey) Decoupling of nutrient emissions from urban waste water treatment plants and population growth between 1990 and 2009 ( EU15 + Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Turkey) The chart displays changes in nutrient emissions in water from urban waste water treatment plants (and collecting systems without treatment), plotted against changes in population growth in Europe between 1990 and 2009. Changes are expressed in %, where values for 1990=100 %.
