South West Water has opened a £30 million joint research and innovation centre with the University of Exeter dedicated to sustainably managing water for resilience. The water company pumped £21 million into CREWW, while a grant of £10.5 million came from Research England. South West's region experienced drought conditions during the past two years, which saw reservoir levels drop to their lowest ever and required a 14-month hosepipe ban in some parts.
