The European Water Resilience Strategy represents a significant paradigm shift in the way the European Union approaches water governance. It provides an opportunity to implement long-delayed reforms, leveraging a European framework that legitimizes difficult but necessary choices. An ordered sequence of interventions on concessions, pricing, measurement, and governance acts as a lever for rebalancing the national water system, aligning it with new climatic conditions and increasing scarcity.
