Water in a culture of innovation

01/10/07

Water UK's Innovation Forum in partnership with the Department of Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform touched on every link in the supply chain in the search for cost and carbon efficiency.

The most important part of the industry's record in recent years has been its efforts – often against the odds – to improve the supply infrastructure.

Pamela Taylor, Chief Executive, in a keynote address, said that this might not be everyone's view. But the great improvements in reliability said it all. In one of the most serious droughts in a century the impact on the economy and people generally had been very small.

The background was the ability of the industry to learn from previous droughts by designing and constructing better local networks. Companies can be confident that they will be able to meet present challenges – including the new-style water resource management plans.
