    Brief

    The water industry provides essential services to the public, environment, and economy. This opportunity seeks evidence to support the development of new resilience standards for water companies. Resilience—the ability to maintain critical functions despite pressures and shocks—is vital for both water supply and wastewater systems. Water companies must build, maintain, and operate reliable sewerage and supply infrastructure to prevent public health risks, environmental harm, and economic disruption. Current regulations require companies to meet their obligations to maintain resilient systems. This opportunity invites suppliers, researchers, and consultants to provide data, case studies, technical analysis, and evidence that will inform stronger resilience standards and help regulators establish clearer requirements for water sector infrastructure performance and crisis management.
