Can Britain avoid a water crisis? An interview with the Interim CEO of Ofwat

from The Future of Utilities Podcast

The UK is facing a water crisis that's been decades in the making - ageing infrastructure, rising demand, and the growing pressure of climate change are converging at once. In this episode, Lindley Gooden sits down with Chris Walters, Chief Executive of Ofwat, to dig into the scale of the challenge: from planning for once-in-500-year droughts to a £104 billion investment programme, and a landmark regulatory shake-up that will reshape the sector entirely.Sponsored by Modulr (https://www.modulrfinance.com/) Hosted on Acast.
