The Community-Led Stewardship Insights Report collates the findings from Phase Two of the Community-Led Stewardship work-stream of the Enabling Water Smart Communities (EWSC) project.

This phase tested the Water Stewardship Blueprint – a framework designed in Phase One to support the integration of long-term water management into new housing development – with two Community Land Trusts (CLTs) at different development stages.

This webinar will discuss the challenges revealed in the Insights Report and potential solutions via ACS Legal Toolkit.

This summary report from Enabling Water Smart Communities (EWSC) sets out the headline findings from an assessment of the whole‑life operational cost and carbon impacts of water reuse systems in new residential development in England.

It provides a clear, decision focused overview of what water reuse systems cost to run over a building’s lifetime, how those costs compare to conventional infrastructure solutions, and what the implications are for carbon, water security, and housing delivery.

In this webinar, you’ll hear from those involved in creating this report about some of its key insights & findings, a discussion of next steps, and the opportunity for a short Q&A.

Join us for the wrap‑up webinar of EWSC’s Designing Low Demand Networks project, which has focused on developing future‑proof design criteria for drinking water and sewer systems in new, water‑efficient housing developments.

During the webinar, we will summarise what the project has involved and share the key findings, before setting out practical recommendations and guidance to support utilities, developers and planners in designing systems that remain robust, efficient and fit for the future as water demand continues to change.

The session will conclude with reflections on how these insights can inform future policy, standards and design practice for low‑demand developments.
