WRE’s region
Eastern England is classified as severely water stressed, yet demand for water is growing with one of the highest rates of new housing development in the country. Unless urgent action is taken, the region will face severe water shortages.
We are working in partnership with all the major water-using sectors in the region to safeguard a sustainable supply of water for Eastern England, resilient to future challenges and enabling communities, the regional economy and the natural environment to reach their full potential.
