Question:

What magnitude are the health effects of energy production required to support current levels of bottled water consumption in Europe, and how might this be affected by different consumption scenarios?

Answer:

To be assessed...

Scope

Purpose

   * Purpose defines the specific information need of the decision-making and the research question that is asked.

Boundaries

Population of EU member states in 2007, and projected populations for 2030 and 2050
Current consumption patterns; future possible consumption patterns
Current and predicted splits of energy production

Scenarios

There are two kinds of scenario to be investigated in this assessment, pertaining to bottled water consumption patterns and EU climate change mitigation policies.

Bottled water consumption
- Business as usual (2007 levels)
Energy production scenarios
- D↷

Intended users

Anyone interested

Participants

Members of the INTARESE WP4.3 mega case study, particularly James Grellier

   * Participants are those who may participate in the making of the assessment. 
     The minimum group of people for a successful assessment is always described. 
     If some groups must be excluded, this must be explicitly motivated.
