Water risk in Botoşani

Romania · Romania basin

Overall water risk

Botoşani sits in the Romania 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

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

Moderate basin-level water stress. The supply system has buffer today but is sensitive to dry-year conditions and demand growth. Baseline water stress in the Romania basin is higher than 69% of European river basins.

Tap water & sanitation

Country-level water network coverage is below 85%, indicating a significant population on private or untreated sources where quality is harder to monitor.

The 2050 outlook

Climate models project water stress in the Romania 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).
