由于气候变化和需求上升,南欧和中欧面临严重的地下水损失,到2026年将面临干旱风险。 Southern and central Europe face severe groundwater loss due to climate change and rising demand, risking droughts through 2026.

对22年卫星数据进行的新分析表明,南欧和中欧,包括西班牙、意大利、法国、德国、波兰和英国部分地区,正面临严重的地下水和淡水枯竭。 A new analysis of 22 years of satellite data shows that southern and central Europe, including Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Poland, and parts of the UK, are facing significant groundwater and freshwater depletion. 来自联合城市和地方当局联合会和合作伙伴的科学家利用重力测量跟踪水的流失情况,发现尽管降雨量稳定或略有增加,但气候变化正在推动较长的干法和较无效的补水。 Scientists from UCL and partners used gravity measurements to track water loss, finding that climate change is driving longer dry spells and less effective recharge despite stable or slightly increased rainfall. 从2000年到2022年,欧盟的地下水使用量增加了6%,这突出表明,在储备不断减少的情况下,地下水的使用日益重要。 Groundwater use rose 6% in the EU from 2000 to 2022, underlining its growing importance amid declining reserves. 欧洲联盟委员会启动了一项水抗御战略,目标是到2030年实现10%的效率增益。 The European Commission has launched a water resilience strategy targeting a 10% efficiency gain by 2030. 专家们警告说,如果不采取紧急行动,持续干旱的风险会持续到2026年。 Experts warn of persistent drought risks into 2026 without urgent action.
