目前，英国在促进可持续水资源管理（SWM）方面有一个机会之窗。干旱和洪水交替的时期使水资源管理问题成为英国媒体报道和政策制定的重点。对管道基础设施历史遗产的依赖正在下降，因为其在气候变化面前的弹性和适应性越来越受到质疑。尽管雨水收集在其他国家很流行，最近销量也激增，但在英国，雨水收集（RWH）还没有从利基市场转变为主流市场。本文概述了一个战略框架的发展，使RWH从小说过渡到主流，通过一些证据基础的通知和设计使用的洞察力，通过应用一些理论。确定的战略行动领域包括：（一）技术相关性（产品开发）;（二）社会接受性（能力建设）;（二）体制承诺（支助服务）。
There is currently a window of opportunity in the UK, with respect to promoting sustainable water management (SWM). Periods of alternating drought and flooding have brought water management issues to the fore of UK media coverage and policy development. Unchallenged reliance on the historic legacy of piped infrastructure is declining, as its resilience and adaptability in the face of climate change become increasingly questioned. Despite its prevalence in other countries and a recent surge in sales, rainwater harvesting (RWH) has yet to transition from niche to mainstream in the UK. This paper provides an overview of the development of a strategic framework for enabling RWH to transition from novel to mainstream, informed by a number of evidence bases and devised using insight gained through the application of a number of theories. Identified strategic areas for action include (i) Technical Relevance (product development); (ii) Social Receptivity (capacity building) and (ii) Institutional Commitment (support services).
