Water resources: quantity and flows — key message 5

SOER 2010 Message (Deprecated) Published 28 Nov 2010

Topics: Water and marine environment Policy instruments

Europe cannot endlessly increase its water supply, we must reduce demand. Policies are needed to encourage demand management. Demand measures could include the use of economic instruments; water loss controls; water-reuse and recycling; increased efficiency of domestic, agricultural and industrial water use; and water-saving campaigns supported by public education programmes.
