10 key recommendations in the new WE Position Paper
on the EU Water Resilience Strategy

Water Europe releases its new position paper on the EU Water Resilience Strategy: A step towards a Water-Smart Society. Water Europe’s position paper outlines 10 key recommendations to overcome cross-sectoral barriers and leverage benefits for the whole society.

For the first time, the European Commission is prioritizing water at the highest level, recognizing its role in securing economic resilience, sustainability, and competitiveness. However, fragmented governance and underinvestment threaten progress. Advanced water-smart technologies could save €3 billion annually and create 13,000 jobs, but urgent investment, estimated at least at €255 billion, is needed to ensure compliance with the EU legislation and efficiency.

Water cannot be an adjustment factor in the programme of the new Commission, jeopardising competitiveness and environmental protection. A holistic Water Resilience Strategy (WRS) paired with a dedicated Water Fund is vital for Europe’s competitiveness, sustainability, and ecological future.

🎯Check out our 10 recommendations

“Water is the foundation of Europe’s economy, environment, and future. We need coordinated action, targeted investments, and an integrated governance framework to deliver tangible results.” said Durk Krol, Executive Director at Water Europe.

"Innovation in monitoring structural conditions through robotics and sensors, enhanced by AI, while also focusing on transparency, accountability, and fairness in algorithms and data handling will be required, as well as protecting water infrastructure against cyber, physical, and hybrid threats. Manage, operate and allocate water could benefit from digitalisation." stressed out Rita Ugarelli, WE Board Member and Chief Researcher Scientist at SINTEF.

We urge the EU Commission to take decisive action to address water risks and harness the opportunities within each of its priorities, unifying these efforts through a comprehensive Water Resilience Strategy along with a substantial Water fund. With the Water Resilience Strategy on the horizon, the opportunity to build a Water-Smart Europe is within reach.
