This chapter broadly describes Scotland’s overarching approach to the management of its water resources with a specific focus on the development of measures that respond to the multiple and complex challenges of surface water flooding in Scotland. It considers the interface with the emerging “net zero emissions” agenda, to offer an example of how Scotland aims to grow the sector sustainably and responsibly while tackling major policy challenges, like the effective integration of mechanisms, structures and interventions to tackle surface water flooding. The chapter also offers an explanation of the Scottish Government’s Hydro Nation agenda which seeks to maximise the value of water resources in a sustainable and responsible way and the development of a stakeholder-led vision for the water sector. Finally, given the overarching theme of the main publication in relation to water security, the chapter outlines how Scottish water-related knowledge is shared with developing world nations, with a specific focus on Malawi. |
