Water risk in Sibiu
Romania · Romania basin
Overall water risk
Sibiu 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
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
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 67% 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 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).
