This paper describes the options which had to be considered for new water resources in the development of the † National Rivers Authority's water resource strategy for England and Wales. The options included interregional transfers, strategic reservoirs, and a range of unconventional schemes including aquifer recharge, effluent re‐use, groundwater abstraction where levels are rising, desalination, and transfer by sea. The main options are described and comparative costs are presented.
