Water: building resilience

In the latest Spotlight research publication from Savills they explore the challenge farmers and land managers are facing with water resources and how they can respond to secure supplies for the future.

 
 

In this report by Kelly Hewson-Fisher (Head of Rural Research) and Katie Stein (Senior Rural Researcher) they consider the role of adopting an integrated approach to water management based on reduce, reuse and recycle and present four case studies that bring the theory to practice, demonstrating the various ways in which farms and rural businesses can build resilience.


From the report the top three takeaways are: 


  1. The UK will need over five billion extra litres of water per day by 2050. Action to build resilience in the rural sector is needed now. 

  2. The rural sector has the ability to drive solutions based on water reduction, reuse and recycling using technology, nature-based solutions and infrastructure. 

  3. All business need to plan for the future, undertake a water audit and reduce reliance on stressed water sources.
