SUMMARY:TALES FROM THE RIVERBANK – IS THERE AN ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS? WHO’S TO BLAME?
DESCRIPTION:With Dr Peter Matthews and Mark Lloyd \nThis year’s Plumbers’ Annual Lecture at Wax Chandlers Hall will explore the historical context of water management\, the stakeholders involved\, and the current crisis affecting our inland waters. \n\nThe press is full of the alarming state of the quality of our river waters and public trust in water companies is at an all-time low\, with many quick to blame water companies for turning our waterways into sewers. But are they the only ones responsible? \nIn response\, the Government has now launched an Independent Commission to assess the water sector and its regulation. \nIts goal is to ensure the UK has a sufficiently robust and stable regulatory framework to attract the investment needed to clean up our waterways\, speed up infrastructure delivery and restore public confidence in the sector. The Commission’s recommendations are due to be released in 2025. \nOur keynote speakers will explore the origins of how we manage inland waters\, the various parties involved\, the current state of our waterways and the pressing public concerns regarding water quality. A critical examination will be made of the extent of the crisis and the political drivers behind the ongoing challenges with water management. \nLooking ahead\, we will investigate potential solutions\, focusing on how to implement nature based solutions\, catchment wide approaches that deliver multiple benefits for best value. What role should the regulators and regulation have\, and how can we create a governance framework that fosters integrated\, collaborative delivery across the many stakeholders involved? \nFinally\, we will consider the expectations of the public — how can we meet their demands and align our efforts with their perceptions\, both now and in the future? \nThis Plumbers’ Annual Lecture is not to be missed and promises to be a fascinating evening! \nPlease note tickets are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis. \n  \nFurther details here on how to book \n  \nProgramme \nThe event will start at 5:15 pm followed by the lecture at 6:00 pm.
