OFWAT are urging water companies to consider their whole (or rounded) approach to resilience. Therefore your proactive and forward thinking view is required.

OFWAT 4R’s

There are pressures of an increased population coupled with an ever more erratic climate. Therefore resilience and reliability in the face of increasing change is hugely important. Hence OFWAT 4R’s definition of resilience by the Cabinet Office. They are Reliability, Response and Recovery, Resistance and Redundancy.
