About this Webinar
The National Infrastructure Commission is the government’s independent expert adviser on long term infrastructure policy. Among its advisory remit is water, flooding and drought. In 2018 the Commission published a seminal report on the latter, which has informed water sector plans and government planning assumptions ever since. Preparing for a Drier Future called for that additional water supply and demand reduction totalling 4,000Ml/day to be delivered by 2050 to ensure England avoids severe drought. This webinar will set out the triple track approach recommended by the Commission: addressing system leakages, investing in new supply and transfer infrastructure and reducing consumption. Commission representatives will offer an update on progress towards their proposed solutions and touch on future plans for reports on water related topics.
