European water resources are extremely diverse and variable in space and time in terms of water availability and water demand. These diverse conditions and needs should be taken into account in the planning and execution of measures to ensure protection and sustainable use of water. While problems of water availability are concentrated in some regions, water pollution is a major issue all over Europe.
The EU is therefore establishing a series of measures in order to address these problems: quality controls, setting of norms, information for the public, etc., and economic measures such as water pricing, abstraction and pollution taxes, etc.
Water was one of the seven major themes selected in the fifth environment action programme2 of the European Commission. “Ensuring the sustainable use and high quality of our water resources”’ is also one of the objectives in the sixth environment action programme3.
