The forecasted data for fresh surface water abstraction for public water supply in Germany indicates a stable to slightly increasing trend from 2024 to 2028. The projected volume remains consistent at 1.6 billion cubic meters in 2024 and 2025, with a small increase to 1.61 billion cubic meters in 2026 and 2027, and a further rise to 1.62 billion cubic meters in 2028. Compared to 2023, the projected values suggest a minor upward trend, reflecting a cautious approach to water resource management and conservation.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Technological advancements in water conservation and efficiency.
- Regulatory changes in water management policies affecting abstraction levels.
- Impact of climate change on water availability and demand.
