What can you do with your garden to help reduce local flooding? Loads. 

You may have noticed more super-puddles in our roads – this 'surface water flooding' is becoming a growing issue. Extreme weather and rainfall onto hard surfaces like driveways and patios mean rainwater can’t soak into the ground and instead overwhelms drains.

Scottish Water is publicly owned and we're asking everyone to play an owner's part to help us tackle this challenge.

By adding planting, choosing permeable surfaces, installing a water butt or even using pots and planters, you can help slow the flow. Visit our stand to discover simple, water‑smart changes that can help protect homes and communities.
