Water risk in Budapest
Hungary · Hungary basin
Overall water risk
Budapest sits in the Hungary 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
This basin shows structural water stress. Withdrawals routinely exceed natural recharge during summer, and projections worsen across all climate scenarios.
Flooding
Low flood exposure given local elevation and drainage. Re-check after major infrastructure changes.
Water stress
Low basin-level water stress. Available supply comfortably exceeds withdrawals under normal conditions. Baseline water stress in the Hungary basin is higher than 0% 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 Hungary 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).
