Abstract
Although Belgium has a moderate temperate climate with mean rainfall largely exceeding the national estimated water needs, freshwater resources in Belgium are subject to many pressures. Flooding regularly occurs in many catchments, while on other occasions droughts affect the hydraulic functionning of river ecosystems. For some aquifers groundwater exploitation exceeds the recharge.
