The Auvergne region in Central France is famous for its abundance of freshwater.

The number who could stay here used to be limited by the island's fresh water supply.

The island has no sweet water; all the wells on the island give only brackish water.

Groundwater is the most vulnerable of the European Union's fresh water resources, and is one of the main sources for the public water supply not only in my own country but also in many other European regions.

Groundwater is the most sensitive and the largest body of freshwater in the European Union and, in particular, also a main source of public drinking water supplies in many regions.

We will promote international assessments of freshwater resources and fully utilize our experiences and expertise in water management to assist developing countries in capacity building and technology transfer.

It is the deepest lake in Africa and holds the greatest volume of fresh water; accounting for 18% of the world's available fresh water.

This will tap into an immense reserve of fresh water lying around 500 metres under the Disi desert that was formed drop by drop since the Pleistocene glaciations era.

This indicator is of greater value if it is compared with, among other things, freshwater resources available per capita, GDP, population, the percentage of irrigation of arable land and unexploited freshwater resources.

Its position was always strategic – as a hub of the land and sea routes linking Arabia, the Far East, Africa and Europe, and for its subterranean reserves of sweet water.

The Slovak Danube region boasts not only a unique natural environment with many rare animals, plants, and historic boat-mills, but also the largest subterranean fresh water reserves in central Europe.

Agriculture, in particular, is among the most egregious offenders, commanding the lion's share of freshwater resources, yet often inefficient in many of its routine water-using practices.

The natural freshwater resources are limited with the exception of some rivers that dry up in the summer, and springs on Tortola.

It is of special importance for the numerous European migratory birds that find freshwater here after crossing the Sahara. So this was where I would spend my time.

Here, where the people are poorest, is to be found also the natural wealth of the country: mineral oil, precious metals, minerals, fresh water and a particularly large biological diversity.

Fresh-water sources are drained to lower the salt level of the farms and coastal communities are forced to move to survive.

Fresh water is a very unevenly distributed natural resource, fewer than 10 countries possess 60% of the total fresh water resources on earth(3) and several countries in Europe are dependent on imports of water.

In this context, the identification of “sensitive areas” relates essentially to freshwater, estuaries or coastal waters which are found to be eutrophic, lakes and streams reaching lakes/reservoirs with poor water exchange, and surface freshwater intended for drinking water which could contain concentrations of nitrates of more than 50 mg/l.

Even though 71 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered with water, less than one percent of it is available to all of the planet’s living creatures as usable fresh water.
