In June 2006, Waterwise convened the first meeting of the Saving Water in Scotland Network, hosted by Sarah Boyack MSP, the then convenor of the Scottish Parliament’s Environment Committee. Key players from Scottish Water, the Parliament, the Scottish Executive, regulators, agriculture, business, consumer representatives and NGOs attended the roundtable, designed to share expertise and consider future measures to increase water efficiency.
The discussion concluded that action on water efficiency needs to be taken now to prevent stresses on Scotland’s water supply similar to those experienced in the South-East of England.
The Saving Water in Scotland Network meets every six months. Although the water supply in Scotland is not currently under threat, there could be a problem in the future if action is not taken now, when every day behavioural changes can prevent long term water shortages in the future.
