  • What are the water resources of Belgium?
  • Belgium's water resources are distributed among five river basins, the two main ones being the Meuse and the Scheldt that both take their source in France and flow into the sea in the Netherlands. The major aquifers are located in Wallonia. Belgium does not face water stress, despite its high density of population.
  • Does Belgium support the water sector?
  • Although the water sector as such is not anymore an explicit priority sector of the Belgian governmental cooperation, Belgium has been actively supporting the water sector of several partner countries for a long period of time and water is strongly interlinked with Belgium’s priority sectors (e.g. agriculture, health, education).
  • How much water does Belgium use a year?
  • On the other hand, annual water consumption in Belgium is one of the most efficient in Europe. The domestic sector – household and services – annually employs about 26m 3 per inhabitant, significantly less than, say, the Netherlands or Germany respectively (55m 3 and 46m 3 per person).
  • Why is drought a problem in Belgium?
  • In Belgium, drought has highlighted concerns about water stress, pollution, and water resources management that were already in the political agenda.
