Water risk in Sandnes
Norway · Norway basin
Overall water risk
Sandnes sits in the Norway 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
Within reach of fluvial or surface flood return-periods of 1-in-100 years; intensification of rainfall events raises that probability.
Water stress
Low basin-level water stress. Available supply comfortably exceeds withdrawals under normal conditions. Baseline water stress in the Norway basin is higher than 0% of European river basins.
Tap water & sanitation
Country-level public supply coverage sits in the 85–95% band — most homes are connected, with some rural population still on private sources.
The 2050 outlook
Climate models project water stress in the Norway 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).
