Water is becoming one of the most important world resources. The county of Kent has a particular challenge in that water is already stressed and this problem will only become more severe if no action is taken. This year a hose pipe ban was imposed in April, after another dry winter. If it had not been for unusual rainfall during the summer months, further restrictions would have been likely. Another dry winter could mean further restrictions next summer with even the possibility of stand-pipes. What are the actions that should be taken to ensure a sufficient supply of water for domestic, farming and business use? This conference sets out to analyse the challenges faced, their impact and examine possible solutions.
We are hosting a conference on the 26th November this year to excite discussion and debate about the impending water resources situation predicted for the South East, predominantly Kent, with the aim of developing an outline strategy to prepare us for the future. Delegates will be encouraged to volunteer their ideas and proposals for creating greater water security and resilience against drought. We are particularly keen to establish a joined-up approach to this challenge, which will be significant for present and future generations.
When? A full day conference on the 26th of November 2012
Where? The Kent County Agricultural Showground at Detling. More information is on the booking page.
Not just a review of the situation we find ourselves in, but the beginnings of joint solutions to prepare us for the future!
