About Drought Handbook: Outputs & Impacts
As the UK’s £12m Drought and Water Scarcity (DWS) research programme reaches its conclusion with a final event at The Royal Society in London, this handbook draws together the key outputs and outcomes. The book also features a series of interviews with our leading stakeholders, which highlight how successfully we have met our objectives to produce cutting-edge science that has made a demonstrable impact on how decision-makers manage water scarcity in the UK.
