Water use warning as Scotland sees driest start to year since 1964

In particular, to avoid garden sprinklers which consume large amounts of water.

It’s been another sunny day for most of us – and in fact it has been the driest start to a year in Scotland since 1964.

The lack of rain has led Scottish Water to urge us to be mindful about the amount we’re using.

In particular, they’re asking us to avoid garden sprinklers, which consume large amounts of water.

There’s concern too about the impact on the environment and wildlife from rivers running much lower than usual.
