The Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) provides the research programme management and administration function for the Water Directorate (WD) of the Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and previously the Department of the Environment (DOE). DWI also provides the contract management function for the Water Distribution, Conservation and Quality (WDCQ) research programme. The WDCQ programme assists Defra and the National Assembly for Wales to formulate policy on the quality of water supplies and to make an input to European and international drinking water issues. It also assists DWI to formulate its approach to the technical audit of water companies.
