A program titled Agenda 2050: Water, a Pressured Resource, hosted by Marie Drucker, has brought attention to the growing concerns about water availability in France, both in the present and in future projections up to 2050. One report cited during the program suggests that nearly half of the French population experiences significant water scarcity or water stress for at least one month each year. These findings are based on a report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which examines the relationship between climate change and water availability in France. The program also reviewed data on how water consumption per person in France has changed from 1975 to 2017, as detailed in a report by Cieau, a French organization dedicated to water-related issues. France is estimated to have 2,000 billion cubic meters of water resources, according to BRGM, the French Geological Survey. Additionally, the French Ministry of Ecology's statistical portal provides data showing a decline in water resources since 1990. The program discussed the increasing frequency of droughts in France since the 1960s, as outlined in an article by MeteoFrance, which explains how climate change worsens drought conditions. In terms of water usage, agriculture accounts for 58% of consumption, drinking water for 26%, power plant cooling for 12%, and industry for 4%, according to a report by the French Ministry of Ecology. Looking ahead, the program cited projections that by 2050, water resources in France could decrease by 20%, while demand is expected to rise by 7%. These estimates come from the French Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development. A publication by the French government's strategic planning office suggests that 88% of the country could face water stress during the summer months. The same source also predicts that drinking water costs could increase by 20 to 75% depending on the region.
