The Water Accounts Results of pilot studies
- Share to:
This publication summarises the numerical results and methodological findings of pilot water accounts in 15 European countries. Water accounts focus on physical flows of water in to and out of the economy: abstraction and use of water by industries and households, emissions to water by different actors; as well as the costs of water supply and wastewater treatment.
These pilot accounts generated results for many countries, showed the applicability of the Eurostat water accounts framework in practice and explored the accounting methods and data sources available. This publication will be a valuable source of inspiration for compilers of water accounts. Water policy-makers should also get an insight into what is and could in future be possible with such accounts.
This publication is one of the outputs of Eurostat’s Environmental Accounting work. It contributes to various EU-wide and international activities in the context of national accounts and environmental accounting, including the implementation of the European System of Accounts (ESA 1995) and the new world-wide System of Integrated Environmental and Economic Accounting (SEEA). The publication was prepared by Mrs Christine Spanneut and Mr Gerard Gié of Planistat Europe and Mr Anton Steurer of Eurostat B1.
The pilot applications benefited from financial support provided by the European Commission's Directorate General for the Environment, in the context of the Communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament on Directions for the EU on Environmental Indicators and Green National Accounting - The Integration of Environmental and Economic Information Systems (COM(94) 670).
