Water Conservation - Targets and Integrated Thinking
The demand for water
In the face of climate change
how will the demand for water be reduced whilst still keeping enough water in
rivers and streams to meet environmental needs and in particular Water
Framework Directive objectives?
How can water companies meet the OFWAT target to increase water efficiency savings by 40% from 2010/11, compared to the savings delivered in the preceding 3 years?
Should targets be set for:
• water consumption reduction
in both new and existing properties
- leakage reduction
- effluent re-use/recycling
If so, how should they be derived? What should the targets be, in numerical terms?
Concerted action
Different sections of the water
industry are tackling these issues but at present there doesn't appear to be
concerted action
The aim of this conference is bring
together the different sectors of the water industry - water resources,
wastewater treatment, planning, quality - to look at the current initiatives
and explore whether a more integrated approach would be helpful; see the
conference discussion document on the conference webpage.
