Detailed Description
The European Water Statistics database, developed by Eurostat, includes data on global water resources and use, including abstractions and use by economic activity. Specifically, the European Water Statistics database includes: water resources (per year, long-term average), abstractions from water resources by origin (fresh surface water & groundwater, other sources), water use by supply scheme and by economic activity group, connection rates to wastewater treatment by type and level of treatment, wastewater treatment infrastructure, generation and disposal of sewage sludge, and generation of aquatic pollution by source and its discharge by type of treatment.
Eurostat is the statistical office of the European Union situated in Luxembourg. Its mission is to provide high-quality statistics for Europe.
