Extreme heat, alarming water shortage - Is Hungary really suffering from a lack of water?
Due to droughts in recent years and climate change, water is increasingly seen as a strategic resource. The public discourse primarily focuses on whether there is enough water available, but less attention is paid to how this resource should be used. In the future, as water becomes increasingly valuable, it will be important to maximize the value produced from each unit of water, thus shifting the focus to productivity.
The droughts of recent years, the decreasing water supply, and the effects of climate change are increasingly drawing attention to water as a strategic resource. The focus in public discourse is typically on whether there is enough water available for the economy and society, while there is much less discussion about how this resource is used and what economic performance it generates. If water becomes increasingly scarce and valuable in the future, it will not only be important to use it, but also to generate as much value as possible from each unit of water. This means that the question is no longer simply about water, but also about productivity.
