Netherlands · Netherlands basin

Overall water risk

Amstelveen sits in the Netherlands 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

Reliable rainfall and recharge for now. The long-term outlook depends on whether the weather patterns over northern Europe continue to weaken.

Flooding

Outside the principal floodplain, but adjacent watercourses can produce surface flooding during extreme events.

Water stress

Low basin-level water stress. Available supply comfortably exceeds withdrawals under normal conditions. Baseline water stress in the Netherlands basin is higher than 55% 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 Netherlands 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).
