Creating the environment for business Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) that assesses the investment required to improve drinking water quality. The outcome is a Business Plan which is produced by each water company and outlines the requirements for investment over the following 5 year period which is submitted to OFWAT. The water companies are currently in the process of submitting their Business Plan for the period 2010 to 2015 (known as the Periodic Review 2009 - PR09). Water companies are able to submit interim determinations within the 5 year planning cycle to seek additional funding for unforeseen requirements but most plans should be covered by the normal submission process. Water Cycle Strategy covers a longer planning period and can therefore inform longer term water company asset planning. Water companies are also required to produce Water Resources Management Plans (WRMP) which report longer term planning related to the development of water resources over a period of 25 years. The Water Resource Management Plan identifies investment in water resources schemes to meet additional demand related to population growth and changes in per capita consumption of water. This report is based predominantly on the draft WRMPs, which were the most up to date plans available during the assessment. During the final stages of this study, the final WRMPs were issued, however the consequences of the final determination and planning are not yet available from Severn Trent for inclusion in this study. Appendix A discusses the regulatory mechanisms of the water industry in more detail. Doc Reg No. 26271c006i2 Page 10 © Entec UK Limited 19 March 2010
Creating the environment for business 3. The Water Cycle 3.1 Introduction The water cycle describes the pathways and processes through which the water we use moves through the natural and built environment, as well as through the above and below ground infrastructure on which the domestic population and industry depend. Figure 3.1 illustrates the traditional image of the water cycle showing how water enters a river catchment, how it runs through and over the land, before returning to the river system and ultimately returning to the sea.
