The River Earn is one of 11 Scottish waterways with an “increased risk” of water scarcity according to the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA).
The Perthshire watercourse is now at ‘Alert’ level due to the soaring temperatures, along with the Clyde, Helmsdale and Spey catchments.
It marks an increased level of warning from the week prior which saw the local area at the ‘Early Warning’ phase, which the rest of the region still sits at.
