FutureWater supports the European Commission as part of a consortium providing technical input for the European Water Resilience Strategy. Specifically, FutureWater contributes scientific and policy-relevant analysis on water scarcity and drought, water efficiency, and water security. This includes responding to ad hoc requests by delivering assessments on topics such as sectoral water demand, drought risks, and efficiency measures, while considering interactions with broader policy areas like climate, agriculture, and energy.
The technical support draws on water resources modeling, drought early warning, and remote sensing, and is grounded in collaboration with knowledge institutions and policy stakeholders. The work also includes reviewing current practices among Member States, assessing environmental and socio-economic impacts, and identifying areas for improvement. Through this input, FutureWater supports the Commission in addressing complex questions around water resilience, while ensuring that scientific findings are translated into actionable insights for policy and planning.
