In England, our climate is changing, our population is growing, and as a nation we want an improved environment along with a thriving economy, enabled by resilient water supplies. Action is required now to meet these objectives.

Water companies and regional water resources groups have produced draft plans to address the need for secure, sustainable water supplies up to 2050.

Following consultation on draft water resources management plans, water companies have now published statements of response and revised draft plans.

This publication is the Environment Agencys review of these revised draft water resources management plans and regional plans. It highlights important successes and where improvements are required.
