The summer of 2025 is expected to be one of the hottest on record, creating serious challenges for ensuring access to fresh water for millions of people around the world. According to forecasts by leading meteorological agencies, temperatures in parts of Europe, Latin America, and Asia may exceed all previous records. This will inevitably lead to increased water consumption and a higher risk of droughts.
The Climate Is Changing
Rising global temperatures are accelerating evaporation and lowering groundwater levels, which worsens water supply issues in already vulnerable regions. Droughts are becoming more frequent and prolonged, and existing water supply systems are often unprepared for these new climate realities.
The situation is especially severe in southern European countries and some areas of Asia, where agriculture, industry, and the population all depend heavily on a stable water supply. In times of water scarcity, not only people suffer — entire ecosystems are at risk, potentially leading to irreversible environmental disasters.
Rising Consumption Amid Shortages
High heat drives a surge in water use in residential and commercial areas. In summer, large amounts of water are consumed for lawn irrigation, private pool filling, and car washing — activities that are often inefficient and difficult to control in terms of resource conservation.
In apartment buildings and residential complexes without accurate metering and control, significant amounts of water can be wasted. A lack of transparency in water consumption leads to conflicts between tenants, property managers, and utility companies. Many residents either do not pay for the water they consume or use it without any oversight, resulting in additional losses and expenses for everyone involved.
Summer 2025 is not just a season of heat — it is a challenge to the entire water resource management system. Every liter of water becomes a valuable asset that must not be wasted or used thoughtlessly. Without a comprehensive approach to metering, monitoring, and reducing water losses, the situation could lead to supply disruptions and significant socioeconomic consequences.
In response to these challenges, ADD GRUP offers ADDRA ultrasonic water meters, capable of detecting even the smallest water flows and promptly identifying leaks. These meters can be equipped with shut-off valves that remotely limit consumption by wasteful users. Such technologies are becoming a key component of sustainable water management in the face of the climate crisis.
