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'.

Sustainability engagement plan: staff, students and public

Bonner, James (Co-investigator) Hernandez, Ana (Co-investigator) Robertson, Donald (Co-investigator)

As sustainability has become increasingly embedded at the university there has been increased efforts to provide opportunities for staff, students, and members of the public more widely, in activities and knowledge exchange events related to the topic. This has been carried out primarily though a close relationship between Sustainable Strathclyde, Centre for Sustainable Development, and Strathclyde Students' Association (known as Strath Union).

This project seeks to collate and bring some of those activities together, and through which some of the people who have been involved in these efforts- highlighting examples such as participation in the annual student led Glasgow Goes Green Festival to Glasgow Climate Week.
