3 Southern Water supply areas 14 Water Resource Zones supplying > 2.4 million people. Typically our water comes from groundwater (7%), rivers (23%) and reservoirs (7%).

18 Revised draft WRMP demand forecast 18

19 Problem characterisation to inform decision making approach UKWIR, 216, WRMP 219 Methods Decision Making Process: Guidance, UK Water Industry Research Limited Used to inform the degree of modelling complexity and method Outcome supports adoption of more complex extended decision making tools Strategic Needs Score ( How big is the problem? ) -1 (None) 2-3 (Small) 4-5 (Medium) 6 (Large) Complexity Factors Score ( How difficult is it to solve? ) Low (<7) Medium (7-11) High (11+) Central Area Eastern Area Western Area Company 19

20 Overview of the Integrated Risk Model (IRM) and Scenario Generator Model (SGM) 2

21 Planning for a range of futures 21

22 Probabilistic SDB (Ml/d) Baseline supply-demand balance (Western area) MDO Western area (Scenario A) - 1 in 2yr -2 8% to 9% -4 7% to 8% % to 7% 5% to 6% 4% to 5% 3% to 4% -16 2% to 3% % to 2% 22

23 What s in our plan better use of existing water Leakage has reduced by 63% since privatisation. We are aiming for a further 15% reduction by 225 followed by a further 25% reduction by 25 reducing water use to 1 litres per person per day by 24 Installing more water meters to 1% in some areas Sharing meter readings every month Catchment First engaging with farmers and landowners to improve water quality New pipe networks to move water around. 23

24 What s in our plan...finding new water Aquifer storage and recovery Recycling cleaned water from our wastewater treatment works Desalination Reservoirs Improving groundwater sources Trading water with neighbouring water companies: Portsmouth Water, Bournemouth Water, South East Water 24

25 Conclusions Reflections from WRMP19 Significant downward pressure on current deployable output - particularly from sustainability reductions Considerable uncertainties around our forecasts Problem characterisation and advanced modelling methods have helped us develop solutions Real Options Analysis has enabled us to develop a flexible strategy to cope with uncertainties. Concept well received but challenges around communicating the preferred strategy Looking towards WRMP24 Future uncertainty in supply availability remains a challenge Outcome of large Water Industry National Environment Programme is key in the short term Higher resilience to drought? Stronger regional planning influence Greater emphasis on integration of supply networks (and not just between companies) Environmental accounting to the fore to better account for wider benefits and impacts of potential solutions.
