Water Management on Your Farm: Rainwater Harvesting

As climate conditions continue to change the sustainable management of water on farm is of great concern for many land managers around Scotland. From unprecedented wet weather to drought conditions, farms need to become resilient to ensure that they can try to minimise the impact of these changing weather patterns on land.

As summers are predicted to become drier and winters wetter, it is paramount that land managers utilise this resource. Installing rainwater harvesters can offer great water storage to use when water is limited. Learn more about rainwater harvesting by clicking download.
