We undertake varied research projects and initiatives to help influence behaviour change in how we use and value water, and drive change and ambition in policy, regulation and delivery.

The UK Water Efficiency Strategy to 2030 highlighted important gaps in research and evaluation. We work with key partners and stakeholders across the water industry and other sectors to develop projects that will bridge these gaps.
