Twelve weeks of Water Wednesdays.
We've talked about why this matters. We've talked about what fails when systems fail. We've talked about salmon, mussels, otters, mayflies β the species that depend on Scotland's water staying the way it is. We've talked about headwater burns, lochs, drinking water and the rivers that connect them.
And it all ends here. The coast. The sea. Where every burn, every river, every drop of Scottish water eventually goes.
Scotland has nearly 12,000 kilometres of coastline. Almost twice the length of mainland Britain's. The water that arrives at it has been on a long journey β and the condition it arrives in is the cumulative product of every farm, forest, town, and rural property in every catchment behind it.
We're a small company in a long chain. But every well-maintained tank, every annual service, every effluent test, every properly installed soakaway β it all adds up.
Thanks for following the series. We'll be back. π§
