PMI112A - Water abstraction by sources and economic activities |
Definition |
Water abstraction is water removed from any source, either permanently or temporarily from surface or groundwater source. Surface water is the water which flows over, or rests on the surface of a land mass, natural watercourses such as rivers, streams, brooks, lakes, etc., as well as artificial watercourses such as irrigation, industrial and navigation canals, drainage systems and artificial reservoirs. Groundwater is the water which is being held in, and can usually be recovered from, or via, an underground formation, all permanent and temporary deposits of water, both artificially charged and naturally, in the subsoil. |

Observations |
Data for 2007 and 2008 were collected by National Institute of Statistics by statistical survey "Water abstraction and supply", filled in by all economic units specialised in water abstraction, treatment and supply, as a main or auxiliary activity carried on, as well as all socio-economic units licenced for abstracting water at flow rates higher than 100 l/sec. Beginning with 2009 data source for water abstraction is National Administration Romanian Waters. For the years 2018 and 2019 the data are Eurostat estimates, except the Agriculture, forestry and fishing data. |
