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 The current way of working looks increasingly out of date and out of step with emerging thinking and best practice in some leading nations.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，英国的水务部门都非常成功。在英格兰和威尔士，饮用水标准保持在99.9%以上，水管泄漏下降了三分之一，下水道洪水在过去10年中减少了四分之三以上，洗澡水标准处于创纪录的高水平。这一成功是利用基于丰富资源、无限制需求和稳定气候理念的19世纪世纪设计方法取得的。然而，气候变化、人口增长、城市化、人口结构变化和更严格的监管正在酝酿一场完美的风暴！这些挑战中的每一个都是对水部门的威胁，孤立地看，现有的办法也许能够科普。综合考虑，再加上变化的速度、规模和不确定性，除非采取根本措施，否则这个体系将走向失败。目前的工作方式看起来越来越过时，与一些主要国家的新兴思想和最佳做法脱节。该奖学金旨在通过开发英国城市水资源管理的新方法来应对这些新出现的挑战和全球不确定性。我们的出发点是一个新的愿景，那就是：安全和可靠。从某种意义上说，我们现有的水系统都是关于安全目标的：公共卫生、洪水管理和环境保护。这些是重要的，仍然需要得到尊重，但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，城市供水系统也必须具有可持续性和弹性。只有“Safe & SuRe”系统才能被塑造、调整和改变，以应对新出现的威胁和由此产生的影响。在此奖学金中。我的愿景将在五年内得到发展，测试和实践。它将利用与该领域内外领先学者的多学科合作。将制定一个全面的定量评估框架，以详细测试哪些选项或战略可以为未来的安全和SuRe水做出贡献，重点关注水资源短缺，城市洪水和河流污染的挑战。将与主要利益攸关方一起制定建议和最佳做法指南。
