Report on Water Quality in Europe
The quality of drinking water and bathing water, and the effectiveness of waste water treatment across the European Union continues to improve, according to a new European Environment Agency (EEA) report recently published. Nonetheless, pollution from sources like waste water treatment plants, agricultural runoff and storm water overflows, and emerging risks like micro pollutants from personal care products pose challenges to maintaining clean and healthy water for people’s use. Water quality is a topic currently high on the European policy agenda, with the European Commission currently running a public consultation on Policy Options to set Minimum Quality Requirements for Reused Water.
