Project 2: Water for people and places

Identify and understand the knowledge and experience already at our disposal to define how water companies, local planning authorities and developers can unlock and share the value of water smart communities.

Project Description

Water is currently undervalued in the UK. It’s readily available and cheap with little incentive to change how it’s supplied to new developments.

This project explores case studies of water reuse in new developments to understand why these schemes haven’t been fully utilised. This will help define an ‘end-to-end journey’ for effective water reuse, from design, through procurement and installation, to maintenance and user experience.

It will cover responsibilities, costs, incentives and aim to unite the disjointed approach across institutions such as water companies, local authorities and developers.
