It's just over 3 weeks since Ireland was found in breach by the ECJ for failing to protect waterbodies from physical damage. The government response? Lower the legal bar for these waterbodies, so the damage can continue, with insufficient justification. Our waterways are not in safe hands.

The core principles of the 2025 Water Resilience Strategy risk being eroded before they are even launched. If the @ec.europa.eu is serious about restoring and protecting Europe’s waters, then the reopening of the WFD must be reconsidered. @jessikaroswall.ec.europa.eu www.eureau.org/news/1055-co...

Thousands of landfills across Europe lie in flood-risk zones, areas which could endanger drinking water or sensitive conservation sites, Investigate Europe and Watershed Investigations can reveal in the largest landfill mapping exercise ever undertaken across the continent.

🤚🌊 Hands off our water! @ec.europa.eu plans to revise the Water Framework Directive after mining industry's request. This puts our drinking water, rivers, wetlands, and wildlife at risk. Europe must protect its waters, not sell them for short-term industrial gain 🛑 #HandsOffNature #RESourceEU

Europe’s water sector is calling for regulatory stability. Now is not the time to reopen core water legislation. We urge the Commission to focus on implementing the WFD, UWWTD and IED to strengthen water resilience and protect public health. 💧 www.eureau.org/news/1042-sa...

In collaboration with MEP @juttapaulus.bsky.social, we warmly invite you to join the webinar “Urban surface water pollution - The overlooked threat”. 📅​ 10 December 2025 at 10:00 CET​ 📍​ Online​ 👉​ Register here: www.pan-europe.info/events/confe...

🟢 Overuse, pollution & the #climate crisis are fuelling a global #water crisis 🥵 💧 The new #WaterAtlas 2025 by @boell.de reveals the scale, urgency & politics of global water challenges – and how fairer, sustainable governance is possible 👉 eu.boell.org/en/WaterAtlas #COP30 @cop30brazil.bsky.social

🫧 Reducing water pollution in groundwater & surface waters. ✅ @ENVI adopted the provisional trilogue deal: 57⬆️26⬇️0⏩ ⏭️Council to adopt next its 1st reading position Details: www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/pres... Draft text: www.europarl.europa.eu/meetdocs/202...

💧 Toxic water at the EU Parliament today wasn’t just a stunt - it was a warning As trilogue talks draw to an end, EU lawmakers must stand firm: ⚠️ No more loopholes ⏰ No more delay 🌍 Protect our rivers, our health, and our future Pollution is real. Action must be too. Let us know what you think⬇️

🌊 Our message to EU Environment Ministers: Europe urgently needs a strong #WaterResilienceStrategy! We must prioritise nature over short-term fixes, hold polluters accountable, and above all, take a systemic approach 🤝 Let's protect people, ecosystems, and our future. Joint letter in comments ⬇️

Toxic rivers, polluted lakes, public health threats, and businesses at risk ... yet the EU still delays water pollution rules 💧⏰ We need action on PFAS, pharma & pesticides NOW 📢 Coalitions across Europe are calling for bold leadership - over to you, Denmark! @eu2025dk.bsky.social💪 Joint letter ⬇️

Rivers across Europe are heavily broken up by barriers like dams and weirs With around 1.2 million in place, these structures massively disrupt biodiversity and threaten healthy waters 💦 But with the Nature Restoration Law, that’s about to change - see how ⬇️ eeb.org/library/goin... #RestoreNature

🧾 INVOICE ENCLOSED EU policymakers meet today on water pollution. Will they protect people & nature - or let polluters profit while we pay? 💧 Ecosystem collapse ☣️ PFAS exposure 💸 Soaring bills 🗳️ Public ignored 📢 The power to fix this is in their hands. See our joint priorities in comments ⬇️

🎬 Full house last night at Nova Cinema in Brussels for Les Algues Vertes (Green Tide) – a gripping exposé on agri-pollution’s deadly toll 🌊 Huge thanks to director Pierre Jolivet, expert speakers, and everyone who joined us. 💧80%+ of EU waters are affected. The fight for #CleanWater is on.

Water pollution isn’t waiting—neither can we! ⏰ A group of 17 diverse organisations urge the EU to adopt updated water quality standards NOW! People are fed up with delays, and the time to act is overdue. Together, we can create a cleaner, healthier future for all. 👉 eeb.org/library/open...

⌛ Nearly 2.5 years ago @ec.europa.eu proposed an update of priority pollutants regulated in EU waters, but progress to reach an agreement between EU institutions is slow... Meanwhile, Member States lack legal pressure to curb the presence of pharmaceuticals, PFAS and many pesticides in our water.

Healthy ecosystems are key for a #WaterResilientEurope💧 Water-related disasters have intensified during recent years, with severe consequences for people, nature and the economy 📢 We need effective EU measures to bring about true #WaterResilience. Our recommendations 👉 lnkd.in/ew5Xjbeb

The way we treat our water matters - and must change! Several @ec.europa.eu reports today show EU countries have failed to manage water, exposing people & nature to droughts, floods and water pollution⚠️ We can reverse this trend - but urgent action is needed! 💪 Reaction👉 eeb.org/europes-trou...

💧EU water pollution talks underway! 🤮Europe’s rivers are filled with chemicals, and many pollutants remain unregulated. Yet, EU countries want to keep polluting for the next decades. Negotiators must stand up for people and planet and set stricter standards now! 🌊 🔗 eeb.org/library/ngos...
