Commenting on the new group Paul Horton, Future Water CEO, said:
“The FutureWater group is all about understanding and unlocking potential that standards bring to the water sector”
''Standards are a vital part of the water Industry, ensuring that we deliver excellence in projects and use the best equipment. They help to drive new ideas and innovations across products and services and the Future Water group is all about understanding and unlocking potential that standards bring to the water sector'.
The group will be chaired by Dr David Smoker of ACO Technologies, who has over 15 years’ participation in British, European, and International standards work.

Water Industry needs common purpose, says Mark Fletcher
The water industry needs to develop “a common agenda that the regulators, water companies and the supply chain can get behind”. That is the view of Dr Mark Fletcher, leader of Arup’s global water business, who shared his thoughts with British Water chief executive Lila Thompson in the trade association’s first Talking on Water video interview of 2022.
Leading by example, he shares learnings from Arup’s experiences delivering blue-green infrastructure around the world and says adopting a ‘sponge city’ approach in Shanghai delivered a US$multi-billion cost-saving over traditional grey infrastructure. Fletcher’s vision for future resilience in cities means “coming up with a nature- positive answer” and implementing hybrid solutions at scale.
Speaking on post-Brexit opportunities for the UK water sector, Dr Fletcher said, “There’s a real opportunity for our government to get more of the supply chain involved to collectively connect globally.”
