EUREAU Statistics: as Clear as Water30/06/2009 |
|
| With its collection of key figures, EUREAU offers a central document for policy makers, environmental agencies, stakeholders and journalists; a unique combination of data directly issued from the drinking water and waste water utilities. The document, officially presented at the occasion of the Green Week, is divided in four sectors: an introduction, a country profile for each of the 30 member countries of EUREAU, a profile of the whole European water sector and conclusions. |

Green issues are becoming central in today's political debate. We very often hear about climate change, global warming, emission control and biodiversity. During the year 2008, we abstracted a total of 272,734 Millions cubic metre of freshwater in Europe and delivered 36,816 Mm3 of drinking water. Can you imagine that 74,578 operators are employing 584,705 persons to provide your drinking water and deal with your waste water? Do you realise that 3,584,617 km of pipes are necessary to bring water to your tap and that 2,228,930 km are installed to collect your waste water? Do you simply believe that EUR33.396 Millions were invested in the water sector in 2008? Isn't it sustainable?
