The European agricultural wastewater direct discharges, including forestry and fisheries, show diverse trends across countries in 2023. Serbia leads with the highest volume of 512.97 million cubic meters, followed by Denmark at 262.27. Notably, Bulgaria and Slovakia experienced positive year-on-year variations of 6.02% and 1.61%, respectively, while Latvia and Czech Republic saw significant reductions by -1.85% and -7.37%. Serbia and Denmark, which already had substantial volumes, saw minor declines. Over the last five years, changes denote a mixed pattern with no uniform regional trend.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impacts of policy changes aimed at improving water management efficiency across Europe. Increasing awareness of environmental sustainability could drive countries with higher discharge levels to further reduce their wastewater volumes. Additionally, advancements in agricultural technologies and innovations in wastewater treatment methodologies may significantly influence the trajectory of these discharges in upcoming years.
