@EUCommission i would say that the thats the smaller number is Estonia might be because of some villages in Estonia have own water supplies operated by village non profit organizations or having own wells, that doesn’t necessary means they don’t have access to tap water. It would be great if you provide methodology behind this statistics.

@EUCommission I see that Italy is in the 100% group, which sounds great. Now, daily news (in Italy) is often mentioning communities in the south that don't have water 7 days a week: looks like that 100% is a wishful thinking of local administrators.

@EUCommission that 3% is still awfully high

@EUCommission So... Europe... what are you going to do about the fact that people at the end of European rivers need to make drinking water from heavily polluted river water?

@EUCommission On what scientific studies are these "strict standards" based?

And what are the current standards? For example, is the total ∑ PFAS level set at 2 ng/L?

@EUCommission

Now have a word with Ireland about server farms...

@EUCommission considering how many cities have restricted the usage of water for people already, I expect those numbers to go down in upcoming years. Especially with data centers being build everywhere without a strategy in place how they get their billions of litres of our drinking water.

@EUCommission from a random internet stranger - this is an accomplishment to be VERY proud of.

@EUCommission
So one 9 ....
In a technical system we would consider this as highly insecure
Normal are reliability rates of six 9s or more ....
One nine 9x% (90-98 percent)
Two nines 99.x %
Three nines 99.9x% and so on

@EUCommission there should be safe and free drinking water available in the public for anyone, not just at home.

@EUCommission your Israeli partners have reduced the amount water available in Gaza by 94% (Oxfan Ireland, July 2024).

Since you recognise the importance of water, how long will the EU continue to reward this behaviour?

@EUCommission Yeah, it's time to listen to scientists and pay less attention to business lobby groups.

@EUCommission This is great and I hope it improves for the counties that don't have 100 percent access.

I hope the EU and it's constituent countries factor that in when going in so hard on AI strategy. Because those massive data centres that are needed for that strategy will threaten water and power supplies due to their resource use.

More drinking water, less LLMs.
