The importance of water is ever increasing in European policy and business agendas. Water is not only essential to life - it is also a prerequisite for doing business, especially in sectors such as energy, transport, agriculture and tourism. Water challenges are growing around the world and Europe is by no means safe on water. Half the European population lives in water-scarce countries and large areas of Europe face an increasing risk of flooding. Climate change further aggravates these challenges.
