Beyond Drought

From Risk to Resilience

We are thrilled to announce Beyond Drought: From Risk to Resilience.


Following two of the warmest, driest seasons on record, natural water systems across the UK have been under immense strain, with several regions remaining in drought status throughout 2025. This is not an isolated challenge, but one that is set to become increasingly common, with climate change projections indicating more frequent and severe dry weather.


Taking place on 12th November 2025, this one-day event brings together expert speakers from leading organisations and regulators to examine when dry weather becomes drought, how to manage its impacts, and what true resilience looks like in practice.


Hosted at The Pumping House, Newark, a beautifully restored Victorian pumping station, Beyond Drought builds on our established Borehole Users Series to deliver thought-provoking presentations, cutting-edge insight, and expert discussion. Delegates will leave with the knowledge and tools to strengthen operations and prepare for future dry weather events.


This exclusive event is limited to 40 delegates. Secure your place today for £197 + VAT using the payment options below.
