About this report
Water resilience is becoming a material condition of Europe’s strategic autonomy.
Scarcity, drought, degraded water quality, ageing networks, flood exposure and rising treatment requirements now affect the location and continuity of industrial activity, the reliability of agricultural production, the expansion of data centres and semiconductor fabs, the processing of critical minerals, the operation of energy systems and the protection of essential civil infrastructure. The issue is not that water has become a defence sector in itself.
Key questions this report answers
- Why is water resilience becoming a strategic-industrial constraint for Europe's autonomy, data centres, fabs and energy systems?
- What regulatory and institutional architecture governs water resilience and climate adaptation?
- How does sectoral exposure to water risk vary across the strategic-industrial base?
- What investment architecture and monitoring implications does this create for defence-finance analysis?
