Water & Waste Water

Water and wastewater infrastructure is crucial for life, public health, protecting the environment, and supporting sustainable growth in the South West. The region faces several challenges, including managing water resources, maintaining old assets, and addressing pressures from climate change, like flooding and drought. A coordinated, long-term approach is necessary to ensure reliable services, protect the natural environment, and support future development. SWIP brings together stakeholders to support a more integrated, systems-based approach that strengthens resilience, environmental protection, long-term water security and sustainable drainage across the region.
