Risks related to water scarcity across multiple sectors can become severe in WCE and, to a much larger extent, in SEU based on projections of drought damage, population and sectors exposed, and they increase in water exploitation . In EEU, uncertainty in hydrological drought projections and risk consequences is higher  and the available number of publications is lower, not allowing a conclusion on how risk levels change with GWL. Yet, there is emerging evidence that drought-related risks increase with warming beyond 3ºC GWL also in EEU . Evidence from the detected changes and attribution assessment suggests that the risk is already moderate in SEU   .
