Upcoming Events
EWSC Webinar | Bridging the skills gap for water reuse
Welcome to the Enabling Water Smart Communities Autumn 2025 Webinar Series. This webinar series will offer a chance to take a closer look at some of the recent projects and outputs from the Enabling Water Smart Communities (EWSC) project.
This webinar will focus on the recently published EWSC report 'Bridging the skills gap for water reuse in the UK', developed in collaboration with Waterwise.
This report identifies that current workforce and supply chain capabilities are insufficient to meet projected demand for water reuse schemes, which are essential for tackling water scarcity and supporting housing growth – but there is action that can be taken to fill this skills gap.
This will be an opportunity to hear more about the report's key findings, as well as offering a chance to hear from those involved in putting the report together.
Currently confirmed speakers:
Jo Osborn | Deputy Head of Policy and Research | Waterwise
Rebecca Radford | EWSC Project Manager | Anglian Water
Darren Eckford | Director of Learning & Organisational Development | CIWEM
EWSC Webinar | Impacts of water conservation on sewer systems
Welcome to the Enabling Water Smart Communities Autumn 2025 Webinar Series. This webinar series will offer a chance to take a closer look at some of the recent projects and outputs from the Enabling Water Smart Communities (EWSC) project.
This webinar will focus on one of our recent reports, which looks into the impacts of water conservation on sewerage systems.

EWSC Webinar | Water ledger technology
Welcome to the Enabling Water Smart Communities Autumn 2025 Webinar Series. This webinar series will offer a chance to take a closer look at some of the recent projects and outputs from the Enabling Water Smart Communities (EWSC) project.
This webinar will focus on the recently EWSC output that explores the impact of distributed ledger technology on incentivising water smart communities
Ledger tokens have the potential to build trust, transparency, immutability and independence. We see huge potential for this technology to solve water sector challenges, but first we need to understand more about it. Whether you're curious, sceptical, or already a fan, this is your chance to explore real-world applications and bring your experience and insight to explore the potential for water smart communities.
EWSC Webinar | Water Reuse Safety Plan
Welcome to the Enabling Water Smart Communities Autumn 2025 Webinar Series. This webinar series will offer a chance to take a closer look at some of the recent projects and outputs from the Enabling Water Smart Communities (EWSC) project.
This webinar will focus on the upcoming EWSC output ‘Water Reuse Safety Plan (WRSP)’, which consists of a draft report and template. The aim of the report is to help practitioners of reuse water systems to begin compiling a safety plan for such a system and to provide templates and a methodology that will help them get started.
This will be an opportunity to learn about the concept of Water Reuse Safety Plans (WRSP) and the best practice when drawing up a WRSP, and it will also feature a WRSP template worked-example. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the session.
Currently confirmed speakers:
Sian Hills | Water reuse consultant | SHSWS
Vikki Williams | Digital Market Leader, Water | Arup
Catherine Moncrieff | Head of Policy & Engagement | CIWEM
EWSC Webinar | Water Efficiency and Reuse in Housing
Welcome to the Enabling Water Smart Communities Autumn 2025 Webinar Series. This webinar series will offer a chance to take a closer look at some of the recent projects and outputs from the Enabling Water Smart Communities (EWSC) project.
This webinar will focus on the recently published 'Water Efficiency and Reuse in Housing: Design Guide for a Changing Climate', developed in collaboration with the Good Homes Alliance.
Developed for architects, developers, planners, and housing associations, the guide provides case studies, best practice, and industry insight to respond to the urgent need for water smart housing, due to mounting water stress in the UK.
This webinar offers an opportunity to explore some of the guide's topics in greater detail, as well as to hear from those involved in its production. There will also be a short Q&A session.
