European municipalities are strengthening regulations on urban irrigation in the face of water scarcity.
The combination of technology, nature-based solutions, and new management models is making the efficient use of water in green spaces a strategic priority for European municipalities.
Maintaining urban green spaces requires increasingly efficient water management, especially in regions affected by recurring droughts.
The increase in drought episodes and growing water scarcity are leading European municipalities to intensify measures to regulate irrigation and optimize water consumption in urban parks and gardens. These actions respond both to the need to preserve water resources and to the importance of maintaining key green infrastructure for the health and well-being of citizens.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), urban green spaces contribute directly to improving physical and mental health, reducing cardiovascular disease, promoting psychological well-being, and encouraging active lifestyles. However, their maintenance requires increasingly efficient water management, especially in Mediterranean regions or those exposed to recurring droughts.
