In 2023, freshwater abstraction for public water supply in France stood at 77.2 cubic meters per capita. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual reduction in consumption, averaging a 0.72% annual decline. This reflects a consistent trend towards decreased water abstraction, influenced by increasing water conservation efforts and improved efficiency in water usage.
Future trends to watch:
- Impact of climate change on water resources availability.
- Technological advancements in water management and infrastructure.
- Governmental and environmental policies aimed at water conservation.
