Catchments and water

We tackle critical challenges in water and catchment management through cutting-edge research and expertise. As leaders of The Centre of Expertise for Waters (CREW), we provide science-driven insights to inform water policy and management strategies across Scotland.

Our pioneering research on drought and flood dynamics addresses the growing impacts of climate change, helping to mitigate risks and enhance resilience in water systems. From safeguarding water quality to managing extreme weather events, our work supports sustainable solutions for communities, ecosystems, and industries dependent on this vital resource.
