Our vision for rainwater

CIRIA_GreyToGreen_5

Water is a valuable resource and its management needs a revised approach amidst the growing challenges of alternating surface water flooding and droughts. We aim to provide robust guidance to help all interdisciplinary actors and stakeholders across the wider water sector improve performance through AMP8 and beyond.

 

The Rainwater Management Platform (RMP) will include how to meet new standards, with frameworks for both design and approval processes. The platform aims to deliver a free, user-focused platform online that revolutionises rainwater management in the UK.


The Rainwater Management Platform will:

  • Host up-to-date guidance on planning, design, construction, and maintenance

  • Provide innovative tools for visualisation, design, and specification

  • Support major water industry investment and research programs
