The European fresh groundwater abstraction in the services sector varies significantly by country. In 2023, Bosnia and Herzegovina had the highest abstraction at 6.34 cubic meters per capita, while Albania had the lowest at 0.07. Over the past year, positive variation was observed in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Germany, whereas notable declines were recorded in Denmark, Latvia, and France. Over the past five years, an average annual decline in abstraction has been evident across several countries, highlighting potential efficiency improvements or decreased dependency on groundwater resources.
Future trends to watch include technological advancements in water-saving technologies and policies promoting sustainable water use, which may lead to further reduction in groundwater abstraction across the European services sector. The ongoing focus on sustainability and environmental concerns is expected to significantly influence abstraction rates and water management practices in the coming years.
