On behalf of the UK Water Partnership, I'm leading on an exploration of the likely place needs and opportunities which will arise from the development of a net zero, climate resilient water system in the UK. We are beginning with a short survey aimed the water sector. If you work in the sector, please have a look at the survey and give us your views (and share the link with others). I'm particularly keen to hear from Scotland as we will be doing some of the early work on outreach to other interests in Scotland before moving to a UK perspective. https://lnkd.in/eeMtZbgk Scottish Water Hydro Nation Chair Research & Innovation Programme Simon Parsons Elise Cartmell Gordon Reid Dawn Lochhead Tamsyn Kennedy CEnv SEA Grant Vanson George P.
