London Re-Use (LRU) Strategic Resource Option (SRO): Fish Screening Best Appropriate Technology (BAT) Assessment: Teddington Screening

Description of Activity

Contributing toward the series of statutory environmental reports required under Environmental Impact Assessment stages of the London Re-use (LRU) Strategic Resource Option (Gate 3) for Water Recycling Schemes in London for Thames Water (Client: Jacobs). A BAT assessment on intake screening technologies as part of the Teddington DRA scheme was authored. To ensure a secure and sustainable water supply for future generations, Thames Water, alongside many other water companies in England, are required to invest in new sources of water. The southeast of England acquires the majority of its potable water supply from groundwater. However, the region has a large and growing population and receives comparatively little rainfall in comparison with other regions and so is considered water stressed. This was recognised by Ofwat following submission of the Water Resource Management Plans 2019 (WRMP), and subsequently funding was provided for water companies to investigate, then develop, Strategic Resource Options (SROs) that will benefit customers and wider society and help to protect and enhance the environment.
