Science Report SC060100/SR3 Towards water neutrality in the Thames Gateway - summary report
Publication Year
2007
Document Status
Current
Abstract
Discusses the possibility of making the Thames Gateway water neutral, i.e. the total demand for water should be the same after the new development is built, as it was before. Argues that it is possible to move towards water neutrality in the Thames Gateway by 2016 through a combination of measures including: building new homes to higher standards of water efficiency; improving the water efficiency of existing homes through retrofitting of water saving appliances; metering of not only new but also existing homes; introducing variable tariffs; and improving the water efficiency of non-households.
