WATER TASKFORCE

WATER MEETING

The Water Taskforce explores the ways in which technology and innovation can deliver ambitions for cleaner, more plentiful water as well as better sewerage and drainage.

This group is chaired by Michael Symmons from Jacobs.

EIC’s Water Taskforce brings together members working in this space in finding innovative ways to increase supply, reduce wastage, meet demands on water and waste and make it a priority for the years to come. Our members include multinationals, waste and water specialists, and technology providers.

There is a desire for closer industry collaboration through water management plans, statutory changes around drainage and sewerage, further protection for the environment around flooding and abstraction, and modernisation of the process for securing and modifying water and sewerage licenses.

The group informs EIC’s thought leadership in this area producing innovative yet tangible proposals to encourage innovations in the water sector, responds to government consultations, holds events, writes articles for industry press, and regularly welcomes policymakers and industry experts as guests.
