People in the north west and Scotland are facing water shortages and hosepipe bans this summer. Bans have been imposed in some areas to relieve the water shortage caused by the driest winter in the UK for a hundred years. Climate change projections suggest that this is set to become the norm, with drier starts to summer and fresh water supply plummeting in lakes and reservoirs.
With climate change becoming a reality we need to adapt quickly (& not just by basking in the heat!).
Our NEAT tool (National Existing homes Adaptation Tool) provides clear guidance for home owners and property managers to adapt and assess how well prepared homes are for current and future weather patterns.
