What we do …
The UKWRA is a trade organisation established to represent the water reuse, waste-water and sustainable drainage sectors, and to promote water re-use as the best and most cost-effective way of helping to reduce future flood and water-shortage risks.
The Association is the only trade organisation in the UK which advocates addressing both risks at the same time, rather than separately, the aim being to ensure that measures taken to alleviate flood-risks, for example, do not heighten water shortages.
Conversely, investment in measures designed primarily to alleviate water shortages, but also help to alleviate flood-risks, need to be encouraged to optimise the UK’s overall management of its rainfall bounty.
