  • 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 have a wastewater treatment system?
  • However, wastewater treatment has long lagged behind and Brussels only achieved full treatment of its wastewater in 2007. In 2004 the European Court of Justice ruled condemning Belgium's failure to comply with the EU wastewater directive, and the ruling has not been fully complied with so far.
  • Who provides water supply and sanitation in Belgium?
  • Water supply and sanitation in Belgium is provided by a large variety of organizations: Most of the 581 municipalities of Belgium have delegated the responsibility for water supply and sanitation to regional or inter-municipal utilities.
  • How good is Belgium's drinking water?
  • It’s the compliance rate with the EU Drinking Water Directive which matters, and that’s well above 99% in Belgium. In Brussels, controls at the tap by water network operator Viavaqua show that water distributed in the Brussels-Capital Region is “of excellent quality,” according to the Ministry of Environment.
