This study provides a regional cartographic analysis of water constraints in European agriculture, examining agricultural systems, agroecosystem health and hydroclimatic conditions. The findings show that water challenges vary significantly across Europe, from structural aridification in the Mediterranean to seasonal imbalances and emerging vulnerabilities in Northern and Central Europe.
