Water risk in Brest
France · France basin
Overall water risk
Brest sits in the France basin. Its overall water-risk level is elevated. This address sits in a moderately water-stressed basin with rising exposure across one or two dimensions. Data sourced from WRI Aqueduct 4.0 + Copernicus EDO + Eurostat.
Drought
This basin shows structural water stress. Withdrawals routinely exceed natural recharge during summer, and projections worsen across all climate scenarios.
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 France basin is higher than 64% of European river basins.
Tap water & sanitation
High public supply coverage (≥95% of the population). Network water in this country is regulated under EU drinking-water standards, with consistent monitoring.
The 2050 outlook
Climate models project water stress in the France basin to intensify 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).
