Our role in water planning covers a broad remit. From sustainable development to water quality and water resources, it’s our job to assess and report on the state of the water environment. Ensuring clean and plentiful water is one of the biggest challenges we face, and delivering it is one of the biggest gifts we can give to future generations. With the impacts of climate change and a growing population it’s vital we plan for the years ahead.
A summary of England’s revised draft regional and water resources management plans
In England our climate is changing. Our population is growing. We want an improved environment along with a thriving economy, enabled by resilient water supplies. Action is required now.
National framework for water resources
Our national framework for water resources, published in 2020, explored England’s long-term water needs. We are working with stakeholders now to publish a new national framework for water resources in 2025.
Natural environment
This guidance explains key issues in implementing policy to protect and enhance the natural environment, including local requirements.
Drainage and wastewater management plans
These plansare produced by water companies and are vital for setting out how the water industry plans to extend, improve and maintain a robust and resilient drainage and wastewater system over the next 25 years.
Preparing for dry weather and drought
We are an integral part of the national drought group. The operational drought plans explain how we plan and manage droughts. Water companies must produce statutory drought plans every five years; these are operational plans.
Thank you for visiting our new water hub. This is a pilot service. We acknowledge not everything is covered here yet, this is a new offering which will grow over the coming months.
