When it comes to climate resilience, rethinking how water is managed in communities is more crucial than ever. The need to change the way water is drained is essential for safeguarding both people and national infrastructure.
Andy Graham, Head of Community Wetlands at WWT, highlights the transformative potential of a national retrofitting strategy. By adopting such an approach, a win-win-win scenario can be created, where rural areas, urban spaces, and wildlife all benefit together. Retrofitting is not just about protecting against floods—it’s about connecting cities with nature, improving quality of life, and ensuring communities are resilient in the face of climate change.
