"We modelled the water temperature of the river Spey as the first step towards assessing how future changes in climate, land-use, management, industry and water use might influence river temperatures"

Scientists of the James Hutton Institute have found that waters in Scottish rivers are warming, which may have implications for rural economies across the country.

By comparing historical records kept by the Tulchan Estate with hydroclimatic datasets, Dr Rachel Helliwell and Dr Ina Pohle were able to spot an increase of 2-3°C in the water temperature of the river Spey over the last 105 years.
