Water is a defining feature of Scotland, integral to its landscapes, economy, and cultural identity. Scotland’s vision to become a 'Hydro Nation' highlights water as a strategic resource deeply intertwined with social and cultural meanings. Water plays an important role across sectors including tourism, agriculture, renewable energy, public health, and environmental stewardship; however, its sustainable availability faces increasing pressures from climate change, growing demand, and complex long-term management challenges. Addressing these multifaceted challenges demands an inclusive approach that engages communities, industries, and policymakers across Scottish society. Understanding societal perceptions, values, and interactions with water in all its forms is therefore essential for realising the Hydro Nation ambition and ensuring resilient water management into the future.

This research project brings together a diverse, interdisciplinary team of researchers from across Scottish Universities' and academic disciplines around the core research interest of 'water'.
