Mostly False : “Most of Wallonia and some of Flanders, are depleting their renewable water resources at the highest rate in northern Europe”
Mostly False : “Most of Wallonia and some of Flanders, are depleting their renewable water resources at the highest rate in northern Europe”

*On April 27, 2022, Brussels Times published the article “Major Belgian cities in precarious water situation” where it claimed that most of Wallonia and some of Flanders are depleting their renewable water resources at the highest rate in northern Europe. However, it seems that the author misinterpreted data from Aqueduct making the claim mostly false.*
**Conclusion**
*The Brussel’s Times’ claim about water depletion in Wallonia and Flanders is mostly false. While it is true that Belgium is in a dire situation regarding water stress, the cities in Flanders and part of France are suffering more than the ones in the region of Wallonia as the data from Aqueduct and the experts Van Winckel and Meire confirm*
Brussels times, sensationalist rag.
Doesn’t mean we have a great water collection system… Far from it.
