Water risk in Perpignan
France · France basin
Overall water risk
Perpignan sits in the France basin. Its overall water-risk level is elevated. 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
Within reach of fluvial or surface flood return-periods of 1-in-100 years; intensification of rainfall events raises that probability.
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 69% 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).
