This short article, co-authored by Dr Laura Major, Dr Elizabeth Lawson, and Dr Jen Roberts, was published in The Geographer magazine (Royal Scottish Geographical Society).

It explores how climate change is creating new water stress challenges for Scotland, a country often considered water-rich. It highlights unexpected impacts, from rural supply issues to water quality risks, and argues that water resilience planning must go beyond infrastructure to include local cultural and social contexts. The piece builds on findings from the Taps Aff! research project.
