Environmental accounts; water use 2003-2011

This table contains data from the water accounts, which is part of the environmental accounts that CBS compiles annually. These water bills include the (physical) use of water by the Dutch activities. A distinction is made between the use of tap water, the use and the abstraction of groundwater and surface water. The use is imputed to the industries and to households. Tables showing the volume of use per economic activity (including households), per type of water and per year can be drawn up at your choice. For compiling the figures, data from various sources is used and coordinated. Because the data in the environmental accounts are directly linked to the economic data in the national accounts, it is possible to quantify the impact of the economic performance of the Netherlands on the use of water from the natural environment. Environmental indicators can be drawn up using the water accounts. For example, the use intensity of the different types of water can be determined for the Netherlands as a whole or per industry. Data available from 2003 to 2011. Status of the figures: The figures for the last year have provisional status. The figures of the other years are final.
