Xylem technology focus: Building drought resilience through water reuse
Several UK water companies are actively planning indirect water reuse projects as part of their long-term drought resilience strategies. The projects reflect a transition towards new supplies that are independent from rainfall, helping address the five billion litres a day shortfall predicted by 2055 for water supplies in England. In this Q&A, Barry Hopton, Head of Client Relationships – UK Water Utilities, Xylem, highlights the proven technologies available to support these critical initiatives:
UK water reuse projects: explore indirect potable reuse (IPR), drought resilience strategies, advanced treatment technologies and future water supply solutions.

Brits Distrust Water Companies Nationally, But View Local Suppliers More Positively, New Research Reveals
New research conducted by YouGov on behalf of Cavendish Consulting reveals a complex and often contradictory picture of public attitudes towards the UK water sector, highlighting both deep-rooted distrust and a significant opportunity for companies to rebuild confidence during the upcoming Asset Management Period 8 (AMP8).
UK water sector faces deep public distrust but AMP8 offers a pivotal chance to rebuild confidence through transparency, reform awareness and improved local engagement.
We don’t need more data. We need joined-up water intelligence.
The water sector is not short of data, and that’s a good thing. Sensors monitor reservoirs and rivers in real time. Environmental monitoring continues to expand. Weather feeds and satellite data are increasingly accessible. New digital platforms are emerging across the industry. And yet many operational decisions are still made reactively. So what does this tell us? The challenge isn’t the availability of data. It’s how fragmented that data still is. If the sector wants to move from reacting to water quality issues toward anticipating them, the next step is not collecting more information. It is connecting the intelligence we already have.
The water sector isn’t lacking data - it’s lacking connection. Despite widespread use of sensors, environmental monitoring, and digital platforms, many water quality decisions remain reactive due to fragmented information.
Driving Sustainable Solutions in Water
The water sector is facing increasing pressure. In 2024, Ofwat issued £168m in fines for sewage discharges, highlighting the urgent need for pollution prevention and long-term solutions. At the same time, climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of rainfall, putting further stress, which will only increase over time, on ageing sewer networks.
