In 2023, the fresh surface water abstraction for public water supply in France was 26.74 cubic meters per capita. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 show a consistent and minimal annual increase, with values slightly rising from 26.74 to 26.78 cubic meters per capita. The year-on-year percentage variation is minimal, reflecting a steady supply with an average Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the forecasted period indicating stability in water abstraction levels.
Future trends to watch for include environmental impacts such as climate change, population growth, and technological advancements in water conservation and recycling, which could influence abstraction needs and sustainability measures in France.
