Terms of use
These terms apply to anyone who enters or uses this site. By entering the password or using the site, you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the site.
Who the site is for
This site is a private working space for the people taking part in the Water 2100 Think Tank: the convener, core members, advisory network members, the facilitators (Studio Andthen) and the Environment Agency programme team. In these terms they are called authorised users.
Access is given by the facilitators. The site is not a public website. It is not intended for the general public, the media, or anyone outside the programme, and it is kept out of search engines.
The site is run by Studio Andthen on behalf of the Environment Agency's Water 2100 programme.
Access
The password is given to authorised users for their own use. Do not share it, publish it, or give anyone else access, including colleagues in your own organisation.
The password is a simple access control, not a security measure. Do not rely on it to protect confidential or sensitive material, and do not add such material to the site.
Access can be changed or withdrawn at any time, for example when someone's place in the programme ends. If you think someone without authorisation has access, tell us at the address below.
Status of the content
Everything on the site is working material from an ongoing process. It is draft, incomplete and will change.
The systems maps, systemic challenges and evidence record what participants drew, wrote and said, and the facilitators' synthesis of it. They are not findings, conclusions or recommendations of the Think Tank, and they have not been agreed or signed off by it.
Nothing on the site represents the policy, position or views of the Environment Agency, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, any other part of government, or any organisation that employs or is connected with a person named on the site. Everyone takes part as an individual, not as a representative of their organisation.
Confidentiality and use of content
The Think Tank works under the Chatham House Rule. You may use what you learn here to inform your own thinking and your contribution to the programme.
You must not: copy, circulate, publish or forward content from the site outside the authorised users, including as screenshots, downloads or extracts; attribute anything on the site to a named person or organisation without their consent; quote or present the content as the view of the Think Tank, the Environment Agency or any participant; or use it with the media, in public statements, campaigns, lobbying, commercial activity or legal proceedings.
Findings leave the Think Tank only through the process in its terms of reference: synthesis to participants first, a week for anyone to challenge it, then outputs agreed by the core members. Outputs agreed for publication are published separately, not through this site.
Evidence and links
Evidence cards summarise third-party sources and link to them. Summaries are simplified and may contain errors. Check the original source before relying on any figure. Links marked [check link] have not yet been confirmed.
Third-party material remains the property of its owners and is referenced for the purposes of the programme only.
Links to other sites, including the Miro working board and source publishers, are provided for convenience. Those sites are not controlled by the programme and have their own terms and privacy policies.
No reliance
The site is provided for the purposes of the programme only and without any warranty that its content is accurate, complete or current. It must not be relied on as advice, or as the basis for any decision, investment or action.
To the extent the law allows, the Environment Agency, Studio Andthen and the participants accept no liability for any loss arising from use of, or reliance on, the site. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
Contributions
Evidence sent through the submission form, and comments made on the linked working board, are seen by the facilitators and other authorised users and may be summarised in programme materials.
Only contribute material you have the right to share, that is not confidential, and that contains no personal data about anyone else. Say if you do not want to be credited. Contributions are handled under the terms of reference, including the Chatham House Rule.
Personal data
The site lists authorised users by name, with a short profile and their organisation. This information is held and used by the facilitators under UK data protection law to run the programme, as set out in the terms of reference. Profiles are drawn from public sources and each person's own description of what they bring.
Anyone listed can ask for their entry to be corrected or removed at any time, using the address below.
The site sets no cookies and runs no analytics. Your browser stores one item to remember that the password has been entered; [lock] in the footer clears it. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address. Opening the Miro board tab loads Miro, which sets its own cookies.
Information law
Information held by the Environment Agency may be subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and the Environmental Information Regulations 2004. Keeping this site private does not change those obligations.
Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated. The current version is always on this page. Continuing to use the site means you accept the current version.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
