UKWIR’s new and improved website has now launched. Based on extensive user research, the new site boasts a cleaner, more navigable interface – which is just the beginning of a continuous journey to enhance UKWIR’s digital capabilities, supporting the water sector’s own digital transformation.

Crucially, the new site design ensures UKWIR’s wealth of research is easier to explore than ever before. Notable new features include an AI report search, discoverable via the ‘Our research’ menu header. The AI search allows users to ask specific research questions, with the Large Language Model producing both contextual results, displayed as a list of relevant reports, as well as generative results, producing a valuable written summary of findings.

In addition to this, the new site sees the introduction of research theme pages, allowing users to quickly and easily access the latest reports and case studies under each theme of our research strategy. The new search page also offers alternative routes into our research including a featured topics panel which identifies research reports relevant to current news media interests as well as topics of focus for regulators and policy makers.

According to UKWIR’s CEO, Mike Rose, “this is a significant first step in UKWIR’s journey towards becoming a digitally agile organisation – one that not just keeps pace with the sector-wide digital transformation, but an organisation that drives first-of-its-kind innovative solutions.”
