Waterwise hones in on Scottish context for UK water efficiency strategy

Waterwise last week focused on the Scottish context for its new UK-wide water efficiency strategy to 2030, with a dedicated session with Scottish water sector stakeholders.

Hosted by Business Stream in its Edinburgh headquarters, the event explored the strategy’s ten strategic objectives, the reasons for these, what needs to change, who needs to be involved and how progress should be tracked. The strategy, available HERE set a vision of “A UK in which all people, homes and organisations are water-efficient”.

Waterwise managing director, Nicci Russell, said: “There are some very real water scarcity pressures in Scotland and it was great to have so many colleagues in the room, committed to and already working on water efficiency as a key part of the solution to this – and fired up about supporting our Strategy! Water efficiency will help us adapt to the climate emergency – making the water we have go as far as it needs to – as well as tackle it by bringing down carbon and energy use.”
