YW Water Resource Management Plan

Yorkshire Water’s Water Resource Management Plan (WRMP) (2019) and the upcoming Drainage and Wastewater Management Plan (due to be published in 2022) should also be recognised as long-term frameworks for the management of water to support sustainable growth in the region. Water companies have to produce WRMPs every five years to show how demand for water is going to be managed and met over a twenty-five year period. They assess in detail the pressures on future water supplies, including changes in demand and changes to the availability of water resources. WRMPs are therefore an essential evidence source for ascertaining water availability within an area. The WRMPs for the period 2020-25 are available from the Yorkshire Water2 website.
