This support is essential for innovators, allowing them to offer fully funded trials to Retailers and NHH users. This collaborative approach aligns with the Retailer Wholesaler Group (RWG) draft guidance on water efficiency collaboration. 📥 How Do I Get Involved?

🌊 Flooding poses a significant and growing threat, with the UK government spending approximately £2.2 billion annually on flood defences. As climate change, urbanization, and aging infrastructure exacerbate the risks, Isle Utilities is at the forefront of innovative solutions to bolster flood resilience. Our involvement in the 6-year, £150 million Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs -funded Flood and Coastal Resilience Innovation Programme (FCRIP) exemplifies our commitment to tackling these challenges head-on. This programme is funded by Defra as part of the £200 million Flood and Coastal Innovation Programmes which is managed by the Environment Agency. The programmes will drive innovation in flood and coastal resilience and adaptation to a changing climate: SuDS+ Community Led Futures: Co-creating sustainable drainage solutions with local communities. FloodAI : Implementing AI-driven flood warning systems in rural areas. Blue Heart: Developing smart technology for dynamic flood risk management. Project Groundwater: Enhancing resilience to groundwater flooding in high-risk areas. These projects are not just about protecting against floods; they're about empowering communities, inspiring innovation, and ensuring a sustainable future. 🔗 Read our Case study to learn more about these initiatives and how they're making a difference: https://lnkd.in/ddqdqSZC 📩 Interested in learning more about our work in flood resilience?
