The first ever water strategy for Essex has been launched today at our Spring Climate Summit.
Our strategy was developed in partnership with Water Resources East, water companies, regulators, farmers, environmental groups, and other interested parties. It outlines the current and future water issues facing Essex.
The strategy makes 30 recommendations on ways to:
- save water
- support land use change and increase natural green infrastructure
- develop new water supplies
All parties need to work together to make sure we have clean and plentiful water for the future.
Alongside the strategy, we have launched the Essex Water – Your Future online explorer tool. This interactive tool was created in partnership with the Young Essex Assembly and includes videos explaining the water challenges in Essex . It also explains what we can all do to help save water.
