Outline
• UK Context and approach
• Research:
– Form
– Function
• Conclusions
UK water context
• Reduce per capita potable water demand to
130 l/p/d by 2030
• Improve surface water management, especially
to manage flood risk
• Continue progress in improving environmental
water quality to Water Framework Directive
‘good’ status
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions (80% by
2050).
• Provide 200,000 new homes by 2016.

Conclusions
•
•
•
•
Water issues increasingly constrain development, yet
development itself limits water options, especially
innovative ones.
Shown already there is a tension, between urban form,
technological solutions and resulting costs.
Intend to explore technological options further, especially
synergies with other infrastructure.
Large challenges to overcome as we balance societal,
economic and environmental needs
