In 2023, France's freshwater abstractions for mining and quarrying were X million cubic meters. Forecasts suggest a steady decline from 86.4 million cubic meters in 2024 to 85.88 million in 2028. The year-on-year percentage variation indicates a modest decrease, with an approximate average annual shrinkage of 0.1% over five years (2024-2028).
Trends to watch for include potential regulatory changes in environmental policy and advancements in water recycling technologies, which could influence abstraction rates. Monitoring shifts toward sustainable practices and their impact on resource demand is crucial for future forecasts.
