Water UK response to the National Infrastructure Commission’s (NIC) Call for evidence on Surface Water Flooding Study

The water industry strongly welcomes the NIC’s examination of surface water management. The most important improvement would be a legislative review with the specific aim of achieving better integration of all the flood risk management authorities and their work, together with better clarity and stronger duties to bring leadership to these disparate groups and ensure they act in a coordinated manner for the benefit of customers and society.
