Potential forecasting of water accounts of European river basins

We apply potential forecasting [1,2] to the WISE database that contains water accounts of European river basins [3]. We identify basins under stress and discuss various scenarios of water use. The complexity of water inflows and abstractions introduces sources of uncertainty that require analysis of geophysical, climatic, agricultural and social factors of water use, and this data represents an important case study for development of multivariate data science techniques. We report our findings and projections of hydrological dynamics in European regions.
