Recent droughts in the United Kingdom have highlighted the significance of the need
for water efficiency, leakage control and reduce the demand for water. At the same
time there are proposals for significant housing development throughout the United Kingdom some of
which are planned within regions with scarce available water resources. These
factors have resulted in new guidelines for housing development that take account of
the issues surrounding climate change, carbon footprint and water conservation.
The paper outlines common themes of the water demand management components of
two urban development projects in the southeast of England. One project was a
multidisciplinary integrated water management study, the objectives of which were to
review the current problems with the water environment, establish the key constraints
to growth that might arise as a result of the proposed development and to identify
demand management strategies to accommodate the proposed expansion. Includes 9 references, tables, figures.
