Water risk in Tallinn
Estonia · Estonia basin
Overall water risk
Tallinn sits in the Estonia 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
Moderate basin-level water stress. The supply system has buffer today but is sensitive to dry-year conditions and demand growth. Baseline water stress in the Estonia basin is higher than 63% 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 Estonia 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).
