Notes
Records actual declared abstraction, not licensed entitlement. The two are separate quantities and Hydrionis does not derive one from the other.

How current it is
- Expected publication lag
- Hydrionis holds everything Hub'Eau / BNPE currently offers — it was read 4 days ago. The newest value still covers 2023, further back than the 550 days an annual value usually takes to appear. The publisher has not issued anything newer; the gap is its reporting schedule, not a Hydrionis failure.
