Centre of Expertise for Waters (CREW), 9pp.
• 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.
