Abstract: Water consumption and, in particular, the rational use of water, is one of the main objectives of sustainable development. Research over the last decades has highlighted both the uneven distribution of this vital resource and significant differences between the world's states in its effective use. Taking into account these aspects, the paper analyzes the water footprint of domestic consumption in 27 European countries, taking into account the results of previous studies. The results obtained show a relatively low concentration of both blue water and the gray water footprint of domestic consumption as well as the grouping of countries of consumption intervals.
