1. What do you see as the main challenges for the UK water sector over the coming decade?
2. How do you see these impacting the AMP 8 investment programme?
3.
What needs to be done now in preparation for AMP8?
Following the speaker presentations, the audience will be given the opportunity
to ask questions during the panel Q&A sessions.
