We are delighted to resume publication of our new and improved water demand management bulletin.
Feedback to our 2011 survey from UK and international colleagues was overwhelming that the bulletin helps us all stay informed on the very latest developments for water demand management.
The bulletin will be published quarterly. It will continue to provide news and analysis on UK and international water demand management and water conservation issues. It also promotes good practice.
The January 2012 edition incorporates changes reflecting opinions expressed in the recent customer survey, for example shorter articles with web links. It also includes:
- developments since the last issue in January 2011
- government's Water White Paper and the supporting Case for Change
- drought conditions in parts of England
- Water Efficiency Awards 2012
- leakage
- EU Blueprint
- government, water company and other initiatives.
