East of England Water Partnership
5th November 2013
Welcome from ChairJane Hunt
Environment Agency
Objectives for today
• Ensure that we leave with a common sense of purpose for the Water Partnership
• Identify the priorities for water management and water stewardship in the region
• Identify the key stakeholders we need to make it happen
• Give ourselves confidence that everyone is committed to what we agree
Group DiscussionAmbition for the Partnership
Group discussion Vision
• Work collaboratively and show leadership on water management
• Oversee delivery of key regional projects such as Water Resource East Anglia and water efficiency initiatives
• Organise wider water forums which give all water users a say on water management
• Work across sectors and organisations to improve resilience for future droughts
• Promotes best practice in communications • Shape governance arrangements for national water resource
management and to prepare for future droughts • Ensure a coordinated and planned response to the pressures
of population growth and climate change.

Relative hazard exposure potential for livestock suppliers – runoff and sediment
Improving water use efficiency and water capture in field crops
• Improved water use efficiency: Genetic manipulation of abscisic acid biosynthesis in tomato: a model crop system to study the impact of elevated ABA on water use efficiency and root hydraulics.
Novel tomato rootstocks to confer water use efficiency and resistance to abiotic stress: e.g. EU FP7 project: “ROOTOPOWER”. 2012-2015
Improved root systems for water capture: Genetics of root development in tomato: discovery and fine-mapping of QTL and monogenic mutants that impact on long-term root distribution in soil

• Partnership and collaboration in practice e.g. Water stewardship
• Topics that could benefit most from a partnership approach
e.g. Resilience, growth, customer behaviour, climate change
• Concepts, tools and projects to deliver aimse.g. behaviour change, projects such as Water Resources East Anglia
