This Urban Water Atlas for Europe is a composite index, developed by KWR Watercycle Research Institute, that displays 25 indicators related to water, waste and climate change in one infographic, summarising at a glance how well a city currently manages its urban water resources. The atlas includes indicators such as water quality, nutrient recovery, or solid waste recovery, fields in which chemistry plays a crucial role in providing quality assurance and recovery/recycling methods. According to Tibor Navracsics, Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport, “Water scarcity affects more than 10 percent of Europe’s population. To foster innovative water management and its public acceptance, scientific and technological knowledge must be accessible for all.”
