Water Magazine · last updated

The Minister for Water and Flooding, Emma Hardy, has been called to give evidence to the Environment and Climate Change Committee as part of its ongoing inquiry into drought preparedness. 

The evidence session will take place at 10.00am on Wednesday 11 February in Room 4 at the Palace of Westminster, London, and can be watched live or afterwards on ParliamentTV.

This ‘Drought Preparedness’ inquiry has so far focused on drought management practices and policies, to consider whether these are sufficient for responding to current and future droughts.

The inquiry has covered impacts, monitoring, engagement and changes in supply and demand, with the aim of identifying opportunities for improved drought preparedness and response in England.

This will be the fifth evidence session into drought preparedness this year.
