US EditionClimate change on your doorstep: Online tool shows future of regional and global water resources
- In April 2025, a report released by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission highlighted increasing drought severity and declining river flows across Europe.
- These conditions stem from persistently low precipitation and warmer-than-average temperatures affecting much of Europe since early 2025.
- March 2025 saw very dry conditions in northern Germany, the Benelux countries, southern Scandinavia, the UK, Ireland, southern Ukraine, and parts of Türkiye, while vegetation generally appeared healthy by month-end.
- River levels dropped sharply in early April, especially along the Rhine River's upper basin, disrupting navigation and impacting farming, ecosystems, energy production, and transport.
- Projections for April to June 2025 indicate below-average rainfall across parts of northern and western Europe, prompting concerns about potential impacts on farming, river navigation, and natural habitats, although some uncertainty remains due to differences in forecasting models.

Climate change on your doorstep: Online tool shows future of regional and global water resources
Climate change is altering water availability—across the globe, and right on our doorstep. With a new interactive map, users can now see online how renewable water resources, groundwater recharge, and evapotranspiration might change in a specific region under various climate futures. The "Explorer for Climate Change Impacts on Water Resources" was developed by the Hydrology Working Group at Goethe University Frankfurt in cooperation with the Fre…

"Climatic extremes, such as prolonged periods of summer droughts, alternated with wet winters pose a significant challenge for farmers. Uncertainty in water availability over the growing season forces farmers to make management decisions that are not always favorable for optimized crop yield. Under the EU project FARMWISE, a large variety of management strategies are evaluated that could help farmers mitigate future climatic extremes." (Citation…
