The National Framework for Water Resources 2025
The National Framework for Water Resources 2025 sets out a coordinated strategy to secure resilient water supplies in England amid growing pressures from climate change, population growth, and sectoral demands. It identifies a potential 5 billion litre per day shortfall by 2055 and outlines actions across demand management, infrastructure development, and environmental protection. Regional groups, regulators, and sectors are expected to collaborate on integrated solutions, with a strong focus on reducing unsustainable abstraction and improving long-term planning.
