"Water is an inestimably valuable resource given its scarcity and the fact that it has to be managed very carefully indeed. The management of freshwater resources deserves particular attention; if we take climate change into account as well, then it represents a crucial challenge for the entire world. Moreover, we must not forget that in recent decades, no other natural phenomenon has been so damaging as disasters caused by flooding, even though the expenditure to manage and prevent them has been anything but meagre. Balanced investment is needed to improve methods of collecting and storing water, to increase the efficient and sustainable use of water resources, and to reduce both the effects of flooding and the negative effects of drought. I therefore voted in favour of this report, even though I think that further work is needed on reaching the goal of limiting climate change."@en1
