💦 We're at @verture.bsky.social #Floodresilience2026.
The conference sub-themes of Place, People & Process reflect the themes of Scotland’s Flood Resilience Strategy which was published just over a year ago.
#HydrologicalExtremes
💧As drought risk grows, Scottish research shows that nature-based solutions (NbS) can help protect rivers, and water dependent industries like whisky. 🥃

💧We’re looking forward to hearing about the latest steps Scotland is taking towards greater flood resilience, and to catching up with colleagues from across sectors at next week’s @verture.bsky.social Flood Resilience Conference (27–28 January).

💧Great to read this @sefariscot.bsky.social case study about Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in action.
Take a look at two of our recent @crew-waters.bsky.social projects that also feature NbS...

Great blog showing a range of things you can do to reduce #Flooding risk.
At home we currently have a water butt, trees & shrubs, rain garden area and swales (kind of!!). A living roof on our garage is a dream for now! One day! 🤞🏼

Phot credit: Rachel Helliwell A wide, shallow river flows through a green, tree-lined landscape under a clear blue sky. Sunlight shines on the surface of the water, and a stony riverbank is visible on the right side, suggesting low water levels.
4/4 "There’s growing momentum behind efforts to slow the flow of water across the landscape.”
"The aim is to stop rainfall from simply running off into rivers and out to sea, and instead hold more of it in the land."🌊

4/5 Open discussions with experts at the #DelugeAI workshop revealed that whilst #ArtificialIntelligence offers speed & scale, it’s important that:
👥 “Humans must stay in the loop”
⚖️ Build ethical safeguards
🧠 Upskill the workforce
🔍 Focus on trust & transparency
