The data forecasts a declining trend in the fresh groundwater abstraction in Germany's mining and quarrying sector from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 11.73 cubic meters per capita in 2024, the value is expected to decrease progressively each year, reaching 11.02 cubic meters per capita by 2028. This implies a continuous reduction in groundwater utilization within the sector.
Notably, this trend aligns with broader sustainability efforts and regulatory pressures to minimize environmental impacts. Future trends to monitor include technological advancements in water efficiency, stricter environmental regulations, and potential shifts in mining practices that could further influence groundwater usage patterns.
