Water risk in Palermo
Italy · Italy basin
Overall water risk
Palermo sits in the Italy 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
Reliable rainfall and recharge for now. The long-term outlook depends on whether the weather patterns over northern Europe continue to weaken.
Flooding
Low flood exposure given local elevation and drainage. Re-check after major infrastructure changes.
Water stress
Basin-level water stress is high — withdrawals from this basin are large relative to renewable supply, putting the system under structural pressure.
Tap water & sanitation
