Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when her Department last assessed the resilience of water supplies in England; and what the findings were.

In 2024, the Government allowed most water companies to publish their latest water resources management plans. The plans explain how water companies will maintain water security over a 25-year period. In allowing the publication, an assessment of their water needs was made and advice taken from the Environment Agency and Ofwat. The Environment Agency has published a summary of the plans on GOV.UK
