A
Hi,
my
name
is
ian
mccauley,
I'm
the
chief
executive,
southern
water,
I'm
delighted
to
be
taking
part
in
the
climate
assembly,
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
bit
of
perspective
from
a
water
utility
director,
but
also
challenging
in
terms
of
how
we
can
all
work
together
to
maximize
the
the
utility
of
water
and,
indeed
energy.
I
am
a
civil
environmental
engineer.
I
have
lived
and
worked
all
around
the
world.
A
It's
my
37th
year
of
working
in
the
environment,
so
hopefully
we'll
be
able
to
both
contribute
something
and
learn
a
lot
as
well.
So
why
are
we
doing
it?
Why
are
utilities
engaging?
What
are
we
doing
about
it?
What's
been
done
in
the
local
region?
A
Well,
simply
we're
facing
into
no
need
to
tell
you
an
enormous
climate
environment
challenge
we're
seeing
rainfall
temperature
records,
change,
bigger
populations,
an
aging
infrastructure
base,
the
need
to
look
at
the
water
energy
agree
interfaces
in
a
different
way,
taking
systems
of
a
systems
approaches
doing
more
than
just
conservation
and
sustainability.
Thinking
we've
got
to
put
regeneration
into
the
new
design
and
ultimately,
as
I
think,
shifting
that
thinking
towards
realizing
the
utility
of
water
and
energy,
because,
frankly,
nothing
exists
without
water.
So
what
is
actually
going
on?
A
You
might
ask
well
at
southern
we're
doing
lots
of
things.
Our
vision
is
to
deliver
a
resilient
water
future,
we're
doing
that
from
five
basic
promises
about
what
we
do.
Every
single
day
produce
water
treat
water,
recycle
water
and
doing
that
better
and
better
every
single
day.
A
We
put
five
transformational
programs
on
top
of
that
two
really
interesting
ones.
I
think,
for
this
session
about
target
100,
I'm
going
to
talk
in
detail
about
that,
but
also
resource
hubs.
What
we
used
to
call
wastewater
treatment
works
and
changing
the
thinking
of
that
we
are
recycling
water
we
always
have
done,
but
they
have
the
ability
to
produce
lots
of
energy,
so
heat
and
power
and
become
self-sufficient
in
energy
production
in
some
cases,
potentially
net
exporters.
A
And
if
we
add
all
that
together,
it's
about
creating
long-term
outcomes
and
priorities
to
to
work
with
communities,
build
a
resilient
economy,
make
sure
that
we're
recycling
and
protecting
the
the
environment,
it's
as
simple
and
as
complicated
as
that.
Other
good
news
is
some
brilliant,
really
good
examples
of
progress
being
delivered
in
the
region,
so
I'll
talk
about
t100
I'll,
also
talk
about
the
greater
brighton
economic
boards
at
the
energy
and
water
plans
that
we
have
there
and
the
sussex
kelp
forest.
A
A
A
That
says,
we
all
have
a
part
to
play
in
terms
of
reducing
the
average
consumption
across
the
region
to
100
liters
per
head
per
day
now,
a
stress
average,
because
many
people
have
to
use
more
for
particular
reasons
and
many
people
can
use
less
if
we
all
work
together
and
we
work
as
a
collective.
We
can
get
to
that
figure.
Great
news
as
well
we're
currently
128,
which
is
one
of
the
best
per
capita
consumptions
in
the
uk.
So
we
start
from
a
good
place
as
a
modern
social
contract.
We
as
a
corporate.
A
You
know
we
have
the
the
ability
to
to
make
a
greater
proportion
of
effort
and
that's
what
we
want
to
do,
and
so
most
of
it
falls
on
us.
So
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we're
educating
that
we're
providing
the
tools
and
information
that
people
need
to
reduce
consumption,
that
we
are
playing
our
part
by
reducing
leakage.
A
So
we
want
to
in
the
same
time
as
we
get
down
to
100,
we
want
reduced
leakage
by
a
further
50
and
we're
already
one
of
the
best
performers
and
we
need
to
lobby
for
change
so
things
like
housing
chains
and
water
labeling.
In
return,
we're
asking
consumers
citizens
to
appreciate
the
value
of
water
and
actively
reduce
waste,
which
is
a
good
thing.
So
we
manage
the
use
proactively
and
ultimately,
that
protects
the
environment,
supports
the
economy
and
creates
that
resilient
water
future.
A
The
case
for
doing
it
is
undeniable:
it
saves
money
if
we,
if
we
can
achieve
the
water
efficiency,
it
provides
a
third
of
the
water.
We
need
for
a
more
uncertain
future
and
water
labeling.
I
talked
about
you
know.
Australia
has
proven
that
if
we
actually
certify
products
into
water
consumption
projects
in
terms
of
their
efficiency
by
informed
choice,
it
drives
an
enormous
contribution.
It's
the
biggest
contribution
to
water
efficiency,
so
we're
lobbying
hard
for
that
as
well.
A
We
are
playing
our
part,
our
home
visits,
the
education
visits,
we're
we're
doing
up
to
10
000
a
year
and
we're
making
sure
that
we're
talking
about
both
streamlining
water,
more
efficient,
dealing
with
leakage,
but
we're
also
now
adding
to
that
energy
efficiency
as
well
and
flooding
we're
providing
better
information
through
the
meters
that
we
have
and
we're
providing
incentives,
both
personal
and
community
and,
as
I
said
just
in
the
next
five
years
alone,
committing
to
a
further
reduction
in
leakage
by
15.
A
It
is
a
system
of
systems,
so
there's
a
lot
of
people
involved.
As
you
can
see.
If
we
can
improve
and
increase
these
overlap
areas,
we
can
go
a
lot
faster,
so
we
are
really
working
hard
and
collaborating
with
people
to
make
that
happen.
A
Some
come
see
the
key
things
about
that
developers
playing
a
big
part,
making
new
developments
more
sustainable
local
authorities,
putting
ambitious
targets
into
the
planning
of
110
liters
per
head
per
day
now,
joint
projects
with
brighton
home
city
council
and
the
consumer
council
for
water
to
deal
with
affordability,
challenges
and
water
efficiency
support
and
then
really,
interestingly,
partnering
with
water
aid.
A
global
water
charity
who
we
are
we're
twinning
an
overseas
project
with
new
projects
here
to
make
that
global
perspective
a
reality
and
thinking
globally
and
acting
low
locally.
A
So
a
lot
of
good
stuff.
If
I
turn
now
to
the
greater
brighton
economic
board,
it's
a
bit
of
a
misnomer,
it
encompasses
the
most
of
the
region.
So
if
I
look
at
the
challenges,
there's
lots
of
them.
As
I've
said,
more
people
more
houses,
we
had
the
tenth
busiest
airport
in
europe
and
two
international
ports.
We
want
to
see
them
thriving
again.
We
have
some
real
environmental
treasures,
a
national
park,
areas
of
outstanding
natural
beauty,
17
designated
bathing
waters
and
more
than
100
sites
of
special
scientific
interest.
A
We
need
to
protect
them,
enhance
them,
regenerate
them
and
pleasingly
the
climate
emergencies
have
been
declared.
You
know
actually,
so
the
call
for
action
is
there
and
it's
urgent,
a
big
vision
about
creating
a
modern
growing
economy
in
2040
having
a
resilient
integrated
water
environment
and
in
2050
having
a
resilient
zero
carbon,
smart
energy
economy
as
well,
all
of
which
helps
to
create
sustainable,
healthy
economic
growth.
A
A
Key
themes
have
emerged
from
them,
so
things
like
making
sure
that
we're
dealing
with
low
carbon
heating
and
that
we're
protecting
water
resources,
we're
dealing
with
smart
energy
and
really
ambitiously
revolutionizing
the
transport
system,
serious
big
commitments
coming
from
that,
so
reducing
emissions
enormously
and
creating
an
energy
investment
company
upscaling
our
workforce,
making
sure
that
we've
got
the
right
skills
for
the
future,
dealing
with
natural
capital
mapping
it
properly
and
making
sure
that
investment
programs
are
there
to
improve
the
natural
capital
map
and,
ultimately
that
helps
us
to
travel
towards
our
preferred
future.
A
A
There
are
some
really
really
good
things
happening,
some
exciting
existing
projects.
If
we
look
at
riding
sun
beams,
that's
solar
powered
trains.
They
are
a
reality
now.
We've
also
now
seen
the
advent
and
the
testing
of
hydrogen
power
trains
so
that
that's
the
real
it's
here.
A
It's
with
us
now,
the
community
water
projects,
helping
people
to
not
only
save
money
but
to
become
the
examples
of
how
to
really
make
a
proactive
contribution
to
the
environment
as
well,
and
then,
finally,
the
brighton
champ
project,
the
chalk
hack
for
management
program
working
with
farmers
to
make
sure
we're
putting
less
nutrients
into
the
ground,
more
natural
capital
projects,
ecosystem
services,
framework
payment
arrangements
to
make
sure
that,
as
we
look
at
the
groundwater
that
there
are
less
nutrient
centric
in
it,
which
means
that
we
have
to
spend
less
in
terms
of
energy
and
chemicals
to
produce
the
high
quality
drinking
water
that
I
think
we
all
take
pretty
much
for
granted.
A
So
that's
some
of
the
exciting
existing
stuff
that
we're
doing
and
then
finally,
turning
towards
some
unconventional
asset
thinking,
the
sussex
kelp
forest,
a
really
really
exciting
natural
capital
project.
What
is
it
you
might
ask?
Well,
you
can
see
the
picture
on
the
left
here
up
until
the
1980s,
the
kelp
forest
covered
nearly
200
kilometers
squared
and
now,
if
we
look
at
the
picture,
there's
only
about
six
kilometers
squared
left,
it's
been
degraded
by
ensure
trolling
by
sediment
deposition
and
a
number
of
other
things.
A
The
good
news
is,
we
can
bring
it
back
and
that's
what
the
project
is
about.
Kelp
forest
can
capture
20
times
more
co2
than
land-based
forest,
so
globally
that's
600
million
tons
per
year.
They
create
an
oasis
of
life
as
well
for
flora
and
fauna.
They
are
the
marine
nurseries
effectively
and
they
provide
habitats
for
a
thousand
species
and
we
estimate,
if
we
restore
the
kelp
forest
to
where
it
was
before,
that
we
can
capture
70,
000
tons
of
carbon
and
we
can
add
3
million
to
a
local
economy
every
single
year.
A
So
it's
a
great
thing
to
do.
We
also
have
to
recognize
that
we
have
to
protect
the
livelihoods
of
those
who
may
be
affected
by
some
of
the
changes,
but
that
can
be
taken
into
account
in
that
in
that
different
future,
their
preferred
future.
So
the
sussex
kill
forest
restoration
project
is
up
and
running
it's
helper
kelp.
You
can
see
it
online.
You
we
have
submitted
or
the
the
ifca
have
submitted
the
bylaw
change.
A
The
secretary
of
state,
I
think,
is
going
to
prove
that
I
hope
we're
going
to
see
an
approval
of
that
very
soon.
You
can
see
that
online
you'll
see
a
wonderful
video
narrated
by
sir
david
attenborough,
which
will
really
bring
it
to
life,
and
everybody
can
play
a
part
by
supporting
that.
So
that's
it.
Some
of
the
things
we're
doing.
Hopefully
that's
interesting.
I
look
forward
to
taking
part
in
much
more
discussion.
Thank
you.
