Abstract/Summary

The aim of this project was to provide summaries of future predictions of water scarcity in Scotland and the impacts this may have, tailored to three groups of abstractors: crop producers, livestock producers and distilleries. The key questions addressed included: 1. How will water scarcity in Scotland impact the availability of surface waters and groundwaters for abstraction? 2. Considering question 1, how will this impact crop producers, livestock producers and distilleries in Scotland in the short (<5 years) and long term (>5 years)?
