Copyright © United Utilities Water Limited Current understanding Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) release is the main source of colour in water Water colour has been increasing over last 30 years Cost to water companies (customers) of removing colour from raw water Release of carbon from sinks Factors affecting colour: Water table level Vegetation and ground cover Wild fire and burning

What United Utilities has done

Copyright © United Utilities Water Limited A sustainable approach The Sustainable Catchment Management Programme (SCaMP) began in 2004 SCaMP is an innovative and large scale project designed to: Improve catchment quality Meet nature conservation objectives Improve raw water quality Ensure a sustainable future for agricultural tenants

Copyright © United Utilities Water Limited A sustainable approach ,000 ha of water catchment in the Peak District and Bowland areas ,000 ha of water catchment and common land in Cumbria and South Lancashire areas safeguard zones for colour Regardless of land ownership

Copyright © United Utilities Water Limited A sustainable approach Key aims are: To restore habitats towards target condition To improve water quality, particularly colour To reduce run-off rates, sediment load and downstream flooding To improve carbon retention and reduce carbon loss

Copyright © United Utilities Water Limited Current projects Long-term monitoring of the effects of restoration on hydrology and vegetation – Penny Anderson Associates Fluvial carbon dynamics in degraded peatland catchments – University of Manchester Continued restoration of blanket bog in the South Pennies – MoorLIFE 2020 Safeguard zone action plans – Environment Agency, water companies

Copyright © United Utilities Water Limited Next steps July 2018 – water companies submit draft business plans for Combine research efforts Build a robust evidence base to gain regulator and customer support Partnership working to deliver mutual benefits Resilience Water Act 2014 “promote long-term planning and investment, and the use of a range of measures to manage water resources in sustainable ways”
