Water risk in Rijeka

Croatia · Croatia basin

Overall water risk

Rijeka sits in the Croatia basin. Its overall water-risk level is moderate. This address has comparatively low water exposure today, with the long-term outlook to monitor. Data sourced from WRI Aqueduct 4.0 + Copernicus EDO + Eurostat.

Drought

Reliable rainfall and recharge for now. The long-term outlook depends on whether the weather patterns over northern Europe continue to weaken.

Flooding

Outside the principal floodplain, but adjacent watercourses can produce surface flooding during extreme events.

Water stress

Low basin-level water stress. Available supply comfortably exceeds withdrawals under normal conditions. Baseline water stress in the Croatia basin is higher than 0% of European river basins.

Tap water & sanitation

Country-level public supply coverage sits in the 85–95% band — most homes are connected, with some rural population still on private sources.

The 2050 outlook

Climate models project water stress in the Croatia basin to hold roughly steady through 2050 under both mid- and high-emissions scenarios. The full report puts an exact figure on the 30-year trajectory for your address.

Scores combine Copernicus EDO (drought), WRI Aqueduct 4.0 (flood & water stress) and Eurostat (tap water & sanitation).
