Scotland must do more to help hydropower facilities maximise their output and prevent negative impacts on wildlife in the face of the challenges posed by climate change, according to a new report.

Scotland's Centre of Expertise for Waters (CREW) commissioned the report, which is published today (Wednesday 22 January), and is based on research from the University of Glasgow and cbec eco-engineering.

They worked closely with partners at hydropower companies, Scottish Canals, SEPA and NatureScot on the report, which lays out a series of recommendations to help tackle the problem of sediment buildup at dams and weirs across the country.
