In 2023, freshwater abstraction per capita in Germany's mining and quarrying sector stood at a certain baseline. From 2024 onward, a steady decline is observed, from 11.83 cubic meters per capita in 2024 to 8.94 cubic meters per capita by 2028. This decreasing trend indicates a significant reduction in water usage intensity, with an average annual decrease (CAGR) over the five-year period expected to highlight a broader movement towards more sustainable practices within the sector.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Increased regulatory focus on environmental sustainability.
- Technological advancements reducing water dependency.
- Adoption of more efficient water management strategies.
