Abstract/Summary

• A five-month research project was undertaken to see what was known about water scarcity in Scotland and how it would affect the livestock, crop and distillery sectors. • There is a clear direction of travel understandable to focus group participants in terms of more frequent water scarcity, with knock-on effects in terms of costs for those who are in water stressed areas. • There is less consensus on how to respond to scarcity, with cost of efficiency and substitution measures being cited as major barriers to uptake.
