Opportunity overview

We are developing our plan for how we will manage water resources in the North West from 2030-2090. With regional growth, population change, and the impacts of climate change, our Water Resources Management Plan (WRMP29) will set out how we meet the demand that these challenges create, ensuring that we continue to provide a reliable, sustainable, and good quality water supply to meet the needs of our customers and the environment. We are working in partnership with Water Resources West (WRW), the regional planning group for the West of England and part of Wales, to ensure a consistent approach across the region.
