Water Company Annual Resource Management Reports 2005-Present

Annual data submissions from water companies in England, required to accompany updates on their five-year Water Resources Management Plans. The dataset collates company-level submissions from 2005 to the present, with each year's data on a separate tab. The Environment Agency compiled this data, with the latest platform update noted in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in water resource metrics like supply, demand, or leakage across companies using annual time-series data.
• Compare performance between different water companies using standardized annual report fields.
• Assess compliance with statutory reporting requirements by tracking submission completeness and timelines.
• Model the impact of company mergers or name changes on reported data continuity.

Strengths

• Time-series coverage spans from 2005 to the present, enabling longitudinal analysis.
• Data is structured at the water company level, allowing for entity-specific tracking.

Limitations

• Data from Veolia Water Projects is excluded for national security reasons, creating a gap.
• The specific columns, row counts, and data volume are unknown, limiting pre-use assessment.
