The forecasted freshwater abstraction for public water supply in Germany shows a steady increase from 5.39 billion cubic meters in 2024 to 5.45 billion cubic meters in 2028. Comparatively, this reflects a consistent year-on-year growth in abstraction volumes. In 2023, abstraction was reported at 5.37 billion cubic meters, indicating gradual but stable growth over the forecast period. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a modest upward trend, signifying sustained demand and possibly stable water management practices.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of climate change on water resources, technological advancements in water purification and recycling, and policy changes in water management practices. These factors could significantly influence abstraction rates and water supply strategies in the long term.
