A Parliamentary Question . .
Does Parliament see a role for the Private Water industry in the funding of sustainable flood defence along rivers which provide essential conveyance of water managed, primarily, for urban users ? This question is posed (to the Select Committee on Flooding) against the background of similar National Energy Supply obligations to sustainability through the funding of renewables.
This key framework aspect was not highlighted by Pitt; neither is there provision in the 2010 Act.
By way of example in Mid Wales, there is little evidence of balanced management of Lake Vyrnwy or of any flood attenuation provision alongside new ‘blue’ pipelines in the floodplain.
There is widespread acceptance that capital grant frameworks favour the provision of water industry hard assets rather than the deployment of equivalent natural methods.
