Expert OCDE: Dunărea arată că deficitul de apă este un risc pentru România. Cine primește apă atunci când resursele devin insuficiente? Un episod de secetă costă deja de două ori mai mult ca în 2000 - Economica.net

Low water levels in the Danube highlight the economic risks of water scarcity, affecting transport, energy production, and tourism. Juliette Lassman from OECD emphasizes the rising costs of droughts and the need for effective water governance. She discusses the importance of preparing for water deficits and managing risks across administrative boundaries. Effective water governance requires clear responsibilities, coordination, and stakeholder involvement. The OECD principles advocate for basin-level governance to address transboundary water issues. Countries must shift from crisis management to proactive risk management, integrating water security into economic development. Urban areas face increasing water-related risks due to climate change, necessitating better planning and infrastructure solutions to enhance resilience against both droughts and floods.
