There is some light relief for parts of Scotland’s water environment, with rain over the past week leading to recovery in river and groundwater levels.
The latest water scarcity report, published by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), reveals the Rivers Annan and Nith in Dumfries and Galloway, Loch Maree in the Highlands and the Outer Hebrides have moved from significant down to moderate scarcity.
The majority of Argyll and Bute has also returned to normal conditions.
