The water sector in the UK has, by many measures, been very successful. In England and Wales, drinking water standards stands at over 99.9%, water pipe leakage is down by a third, sewer flooding reduced by more three quarters in the last 10 years and bathing water standards are at record high levels. This success has been achieved using a 19th century design approach based on the idea of plentiful resources, unrestrained demand and a stable climate. However, a perfect storm of climate change, increasing population, urbanisation, demographic shifts and tighter regulation is brewing! Each one of these challenges is a threat to the water sector and, taken in isolation, existing approaches may be able to cope. Taken together and compounded by the speed, size and uncertainty of change, the system is heading for failure unless something radical is done. The current way of working looks increasingly out of date and out of step with emerging thinking and best practice in some leading nations. This fellowship aims to meet these emerging challenges and global uncertainties head on by developing a new approach to water management in UK cities. The starting point is a new vision that is: Safe & SuRe. In a sense, our existing water systems are all about safety goals: public health, flood management and environmental protection. These are important and still need to be respected, but they are NOT sufficient to rise to the coming challenges. In the new world of rapid and uncertain change, water systems in cities must also be Sustainable and Resilient. Only a 'Safe & SuRe' system can be moulded, adapted and changed to face the emerging threats and resulting impacts.In this fellowship. my vision will be developed, tested and championed into practice over a period of 5 years. It will draw from multi-disciplinary collaboration with leading academics inside and outside the field. A comprehensive, quantitative evaluation framework will be developed to test in detail what options or strategies can contribute towards a Safe & SuRe water future, focussing on the challenges of water scarcity, urban flooding and river pollution. Recommendations and best practice guidance will be developed in conjunction with key stakeholders.

从许多方面来看，英国的水部门非常成功。在英格兰和威尔士，饮用水标准的水平超过99.9％，水管泄漏下降了三分之一，在过去的10年中，下水道洪水减少了三分之三，沐浴水标准处于创纪录的高水平。基于大量资源，不受限制的需求和稳定的气候，使用了19世纪的设计方法实现了这一成功。但是，气候变化，人口增加，城市化，人口变化和更严格的法规正在酝酿中的完美风暴！这些挑战中的每一个都是对水部门的威胁，并且孤立地采用现有方法可以应付。综合速度，大小和变化的不确定性，除非做出任何激进的事情，否则该系统将导致失败。当前的工作方式看起来越来越过时，并且在某些领先国家的新兴思维和最佳实践中看起来越来越逐步。该奖学金旨在通过在英国城市开发一种新的水管理方法来应对这些新兴的挑战和全球不确定性。起点是一个新的愿景：安全可靠。从某种意义上说，我们现有的水系统都是关于安全目标：公共卫生，洪水管理和环境保护。这些很重要，仍然需要受到尊重，但是它们不足以应对即将到来的挑战。在快速和不确定变化的新世界中，城市的供水系统也必须具有可持续性和韧性。只有一个“安全且确定的”系统才能被模制，调整和更改，以面对新兴的威胁和产生的影响。在5年的时间里，我的愿景将得到发展，测试和倡导。它将从与领域内外的领先学者的多学科合作中汲取灵感。将开发一个全面的定量评估框架，以详细测试哪些选择或策略可以促进安全，确定的水的未来，重点关注水稀缺，城市洪水和河流污染的挑战。建议和最佳实践指导将与主要利益相关者一起制定。
