Questions 5 and 6 are related to the options and are written in English

Welsh translated versions are below. 

If you are completing these in English, please skip questions 7 and 8.

5.  

How far do you agree the suggested communications options will improve the accessibility and transparency of information about the water company investment to improve the water environment?

Please rate your level of agreement using a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 = strongly disagree and 10 = strongly agree


Central signposting to existing evidence, reports, data/platforms (e.g. EA’s Water Hub), good news stories and use case studies to demonstrate impact. Theme around key areas of interest.
Improve accessibility and interpretation of existing performance reports. Consider additional tactics to make information easier to understand e.g. explainer videos and infographics.
Interactive digital story maps that combine spatial data, maps and multimedia to explain environmental challenges, relevant targets and legislation, investment to address these and signposting for those who want to explore additional detail.
Develop formal cross-sector approach – data driven stories focused on each audience persona that show impact of investment locally and nationally.
Collaborative content amplified by trusted voices. Would need resource commitment and/or a formal MoU (or similar agreement) between partners.

* required
Improve existing EA and NRW WINEP/NEP interactive maps (2027 onwards) – filtering, categorisation, additional spatial layers (e.g. bathing waters, storm overflows, reasons for not achieving ‘Good Ecological Status’, SSSIs etc), and delivery progress. Enables clearer view of the location of investment and associated benefits.
Publish results of WINEP/NEP investigation projects in a searchable format. Addresses evidence gaps and ensures catchment/regional planning is better informed by latest evidence
Create and publish a simple dashboard to provide an overview of progress on delivery of WINEP/NEP schemes by water companies – building on existing Environmental Performance Assessment information.
Regulators and companies could work together on a trusted repository of open data. This could incorporate other data such as real time water quality metrics, citizen science data and relevant research. This would allow different audiences to create their own data portals and package data in ways that work for them.
Collate data to evaluate the environmental outcomes being delivered by water company expenditure (including non WINEP/NEP spend) including the contribution to national targets. Communicate this in an easy to understand format. This information is held by water companies and the data may be held in different formats so would be something to consider for the next price review.
A water data ”portal” that would facilitate searching, visualisation, and download of water data. Data could be searchable by geographical area and have water company investment activity displayed along with information about status, delivery, improvements, outcomes, etc. This could also incorporate other data such as real time water quality metrics and citizen science data. This would require a full assessment of the extent to which existing platforms meet audience needs, a set of user requirements, and decisions on who would own or manage it. This would be a long term, strategic option and would need to align with the transition to the new water regulator.

7.  

I ba raddau ydych chi'n cytuno y bydd y data a awgrymir a'r opsiynau adrodd yn gwella'r hygyrchedd a thryloywder gwybodaeth am fuddsoddiad y cwmni dŵr i gwella'r amgylchedd dŵr?

Graddiwch i ba raddau rydych yn cytuno gan ddefnyddio graddfa 1-10 ar gyfer pob opsiwn, lle mae 1 = anghytuno’n gryf a 10 = cytuno’n gryf


Gwella mapiau rhyngweithiol WINEP/NEP presennol EA a CNC – hidlo, categoreiddio, haenau gofodol ychwanegol (e.e. dyfroedd ymdrochi, gorlifau storm, rhesymau dros beidio â chyflawni ‘Statws Ecolegol Da’, SoDdGAau ac ati), a chynnydd o ran cyflawni. Galluogi golwg gliriach ar leoliad buddsoddiad a’r buddion cysylltiedig.
Cyhoeddi canlyniadau prosiectau ymchwilio WINEP/NEP mewn fformat y gellir ei chwilio. Mynd i’r afael â bylchau tystiolaeth a sicrhau bod cynllunio dalgylch/rhanbarthol yn cael ei lywio’n well gan y dystiolaeth ddiweddaraf.
Creu a chyhoeddi dangosfwrdd syml i roi trosolwg o gynnydd o ran cyflawni cynlluniau WINEP/NEP gan gwmnïau dŵr – gan adeiladu ar wybodaeth bresennol yr Asesiad Perfformiad Amgylcheddol.
Gallai rheoleiddwyr a chwmnïau gydweithio ar storfa ddibynadwy o ddata agored. Gallai hyn ymgorffori data arall megis metrigau ansawdd dŵr amser real, data gwyddor dinasyddion ac ymchwil perthnasol. Byddai hyn yn caniatáu i wahanol gynulleidfaoedd greu eu pyrth data eu hunain a phecynnu data mewn ffyrdd sy’n gweithio iddyn nhw.
Casglu data i werthuso’r canlyniadau amgylcheddol sy’n cael eu cyflawni gan wariant cwmnïau dŵr (gan gynnwys gwariant nad yw’n WINEP/NEP) gan gynnwys y cyfraniad at dargedau cenedlaethol. Cyfleu hyn mewn fformat hawdd ei ddeall. Mae’r wybodaeth hon yn cael ei chadw gan gwmnïau dŵr a gall y data fod mewn gwahanol fformatau felly byddai’n rhywbeth i’w ystyried ar gyfer yr adolygiad prisiau nesaf.
Porth data dŵr a fyddai’n hwyluso chwilio, delweddu a lawrlwytho data dŵr. Gellid chwilio’r data yn ôl ardal ddaearyddol a dangos gweithgarwch buddsoddi cwmnïau dŵr ynghyd â gwybodaeth am statws, cyflawni, gwelliannau, canlyniadau ac ati. Gallai hyn hefyd gynnwys data arall megis metrigau ansawdd dŵr amser real a data gwyddor dinasyddion. Byddai hyn yn gofyn am asesiad llawn o i ba raddau y mae platfformau presennol yn diwallu anghenion y gynulleidfa, set o ofynion defnyddwyr, a phenderfyniadau ynghylch pwy fyddai’n berchen arno neu’n ei reoli. Byddai hwn yn opsiwn strategol a hirdymor a byddai angen iddo gyd-fynd â’r newid i’r rheoleiddiwr dŵr newydd.

I ba raddau ydych chi’n cytuno y bydd yr opsiynau arfaethedig ar gyfer cyfathrebu yn gwella hygyrchedd a thryloywder gwybodaeth am fuddsoddiad y cwmni dŵr i wella’r amgylchedd dŵr?

Graddiwch i ba raddau rydych yn cytuno gan ddefnyddio graddfa 1-10 ar gyfer pob opsiwn, lle mae 1 = anghytuno’n gryf a 10 = cytuno’n gryf


Cyfeirio'n ganolog at dystiolaeth sy'n bodoli eisoes, adroddiadau, data/platfformau (e.e. EA’s Hwb Dŵr), straeon newyddion da a defnyddio astudiaethau achos i ddangos effaith. Thema ym maes diddordeb allweddol.
Gwella hygyrchedd a’r modd y dehonglir adroddiadau perfformiad sy’n bodoli eisoes. Ystyried tactegau ychwanegol i wneud gwybodaeth yn haws i’w deall e.e. fideos esbonio a ffeithluniau.
Mapiau stori digidol rhyngweithiol sy’n cyfuno data gofodol, mapiau ac amlgyfrwng i esbonio heriau amgylcheddol, targedau a deddfwriaeth berthnasol, buddsoddiad i fynd i’r afael â’r rhain a chyfeirio ar gyfer y rheini sydd am archwilio manylion ychwanegol.
Datblygu dull traws-sector ffurfiol – straeon wedi’u llywio gan ddata sy’n canolbwyntio ar bob persona cynulleidfa ac sy’n dangos effaith buddsoddiad yn lleol ac yn genedlaethol. Cynnwys cydweithredol sy’n cael ei hyrwyddo gan leisiau dibynadwy.
Cynnwys cydweithredol sy’n cael ei hyrwyddo gan leisiau dibynadwy. Byddai hyn yn gofyn am ymrwymiad adnoddau a/neu Femorandwm Cyd-ddealltwriaeth ffurfiol (neu gytundeb tebyg) rhwng partneriaid.
