About the session

Ofwat’s recent report (‘Towards Resilience – how we will embed resilience in our work’) put a renewed focus on the importance of resilience.  Customers, society and the environment rely on the services provided by water and wastewater companies, therefore the resilience of these services is critical.  But what does resilience really mean, and as risks to supply and pressures to the wastewater system change how can industry best prepare and adapt to provide a truly ‘resilient’ water system?
