Water Management
With a high importance placed on Scotland’s water quality, how we manage land is key to protecting and improving our water resources.
Reducing diffuse pollution risks can benefit your business in a number of ways, for example making better use of nutrients in slurry and manure or an improvement in livestock health through cleaner drinking water supplies.
It can also help you to stay on the right side of the Regulations and protect farm payments, whilst protecting surrounding water quality.
