What impacts will climate change have on the water sector? How can the understanding of future drought and extreme rainfall help with water resource planning?

In this on-demand webinar, Dr Joe Osborne discusses the latest climate change projections and places them in the context of the UK water industry.

You'll learn:

• what UKCP18 (UK Climate Projections 2018) is and how it can help assess risks of and exposure to climate change impacts

• the key findings from climate change projections in the context of heatwaves, precipitation and sea-level rise

• how our experts apply UKCP18 and other data sets to find answers to pressing water industry questions e.g., "Our sewer was flooded after 50 mm of rainfall in one day. How often will this occur in 25/50 years?"

• how novel water sector science is improving the understanding of future drought and extreme rainfall, supporting water resource and infrastructure planning
