The forecasted fresh groundwater gross abstraction in Germany shows a stable yet slightly rising trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 6.11 billion cubic meters in 2024 and reaching 6.14 billion cubic meters by 2028. In 2023, the abstraction level stood at 6.10 billion cubic meters. Year-on-year increments are marginal, with approximately 0.16% growth between 2024 and 2025, and similar slight increases in subsequent years. The 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a modest average annual increase, indicating generally stable water abstraction practices in Germany.
Future trends to watch for include regulatory changes that may impact groundwater abstraction, the effects of climate change on water availability, and advancements in water-saving technologies that could alter industrial and agricultural groundwater demands.
