Our partnership approach 

Affinity Water and Severn Trent, two of the UK’s water companies, are working together on a joint water transfer project with the Canal & River Trust charity who own and manage the canal network in England and Wales.

This partnership is crucial to securing a sustainable and reliable water supply for the future, which is currently under increasing pressure from population growth, climate change and the need to protect our fragile environment.
