While the situation is being closely monitored as always, the impending heatwave is set to continue with temperatures nearing 30c on Tuesday
Scotland's rivers and reservoirs could be at risk of water scarcity as temperatures continue to soar across the country and Scots make greater use of water than usual to keep cool.
, July 19. Last week, similar temperatures were recorded in Edinburgh and the Lothians, as well as an amber weather warning for extreme heat levels, was issued for parts of Midlothian and the Borders for next week. SEPA says it is coordinating steps to manage water resources in line with Scotland's National Water Scarcity Plan. The plan warns that businesses using natural water sources should only do so when absolutely necessary, stagger their operations, reduce volumes and durations or suspend abstractions - removing water from rivers - altogether.In early warning areas, the advice is for businesses to consider their upcoming water requirements and to check equipment for any leaks.
