Water Resources West
Our region spans some of the biggest shared catchments in England and Wales, including the Dee, the Eden, the Severn and the Wye. It’s a diverse region where 17 million people live and have aspirations for a thriving environment and a growing economy.
As a group, Water Resources West is building an ambitious long-term, multi-sector adaptive water resources plan that reflects the needs and characteristics of our region. Challenges, such as climate change, and opportunities, for example to share water resources and improve resilience, will be factored into our plans.
On our website you will find a preliminary view of the region’s water needs. This is being used, along with your feedback, to shape further development of the region’s water resources plans. We would also like to hear from those who may wish to propose options to meet the water needs.
