Water risk in Ancona
Italy · Italy basin
Overall water risk
Ancona sits in the Italy basin. Its overall water-risk level is high. 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
Periodic drought conditions appear in dry years. Summer rainfall deficits of 20%+ have been recorded in several recent years.
Flooding
Within reach of fluvial or surface flood return-periods of 1-in-100 years; intensification of rainfall events raises that probability.
Water stress
Basin-level water stress is high — withdrawals from this basin are large relative to renewable supply, putting the system under structural pressure. Baseline water stress in the Italy basin is higher than 78% of European river basins.
