A water footprint measures the total volume of freshwater used directly or indirectly to produce goods and services.
As awareness of water scarcity and sustainability grows, Europe is indeed moving toward establishing regulations related to water footprints.

The European Union (EU) Green Deal aims to make Europe climate-neutral by 2050 and addresses water management as part of its broader sustainability goals.

These initiatives could lead to more formalized regulations in the near future.
