| The Draft Flood and Water Bill Map1 #35305 A map by an interdisciplinary team at Durham University, UEA, and Oxford University starting to explore whether and how the draft flood and water bill can address current and future flooding in the UK. |
The draft Flood and Water Management Bill aims to: - deliver improved security, service and sustainability for people and their communities;
- make clear who is responsible for managing all sources of flood risk;
- protect essential water supplies by enabling water companies to control more non-essential uses of water during droughts;
- modernise the law for managing the safety of reservoirs;
- encourage more sustainable forms of drainage in new developments; and
- make it easier to resolve misconnections to sewers.
