1/2 Although we're focusing on flooding at @verture.bsky.social #Floodresilience2026 it's hard not to also touch on other impacts of #ClimateChange such as #WaterScarcity. Something highlighted in this afternoons talk on issues faced by distilleries.

People across Scotland are invited to share experiences of local flooding as part of SEPA’s public consultation. - Focus on high-risk areas - Informs Flood Risk Management Plans (2028–2034) - Closes: 22 Apr 2026 Have your say 👇 consultation.sepa.org.uk/evidence-and...

💦 We're at @verture.bsky.social #Floodresilience2026. The conference sub-themes of Place, People & Process reflect the themes of Scotland’s Flood Resilience Strategy which was published just over a year ago. #HydrologicalExtremes

💧We’re looking forward to hearing about the latest steps Scotland is taking towards greater flood resilience, and to catching up with colleagues from across sectors at next week’s @verture.bsky.social Flood Resilience Conference (27–28 January). verture.org.uk/latest/scotl... #HydrologicalExtremes

With more ‘weather extremes’ predicted for Scotland, its worth looking at nature based solutions and how they could help reduce the impact of flooding – see what other farmers have done at www.farmingandwaterscotland.org/resource-category/natural-flood-management/
