Join us for our next Wet Networks event, in person at Arup’s London office or virtually. Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of this event series, bringing together the water sector to accelerate innovation. This special edition will see us reflect back on changes in the sector over twenty years, and the role innovation has played – and is playing – in evolving the sector. How has it helped to deliver ever higher levels of customer service, protect the environment and improve the working conditions of all those who are committed to the safe supply of water and sanitation across the UK. We will also explore what the future of innovation could look like – what will be business as usual for the water sector in the next twenty years?
