EUREAU er den europeiske paraplyorganisasjonen for nasjonale interesseorganisasjoner på VA-området, der også Norsk Vann er medlem.
EUREAUs nye statistikkrapport, med 2008-data fra Norge og 29 andre europeiske land, kan lastes ned her.
Vi siterer et utdrag fra EUREAUs pressemelding fra rapportlanseringen:
"Do you know that during the year of 2008, we abstracted a total of 272,734 Millions cubic meter (Mm3) of freshwater in Europe? Do you know that we delivered 36,816 Mm3 of drinking water? Can you imagine that 74,578 operators are employing 584,705 persons to provide your drinking water and deal with your waste water? Do you realize that 3,584,617 km of pipes are necessary to bring water to your tap and that 2,228,930 km are installed to collect your waste water? Do you simply believe that 33.396 Millions € were invested in the water sector in 2008? Isn’t it sustainable?"
