On Thursday 20 April 2023, SDS Water Reuse Manager, Sam Burgess, presented to the Residential Construction Network as part of its panel discussion on the subject of “Managing water when designing residential developments”.

The short conference will discuss a number of critical issues, namely:

What is the scale of the problem?
What is the legal and policy framework for the water environment?
How does this impact residential design?
What can we currently do to mitigate the problem?
How can we plan for the future?

Sam shared details of the introduction of new rainwater reuse systems that can be scaled from individual property level to whole developments and explained how housebuilders are starting to incorporate these schemes in their designs.
