How Scotland’s water works

The man in charge of our water explains why we don’t have as much of it as you might think, and how we should prepare for climate change. With Martin Geissler and Natalie Higgins.

We drink it, wash with it, (sometimes) curse it when it falls from the sky – and we also pay for it. Water is fundamental. But how much do we really know about how it all works?

Martin talks to the Chief Executive of Scottish Water, Alex Plant, about rising bills, climate change, and why we need to start thinking seriously about how much water we use.
