Esk water warning

AN early warning is still in place for water levels in the Esk River.

It's included in the latest water scarcity report from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA).

However, the rest of the region is 'normal'.

Principal hydrologist Ellen Willmott yesterday said: “As we move into more unsettled and typically autumnal weather, we’re starting to see gradual recovery in some areas. However, the length of time that rivers have been at low flows shows the accumulated impact of the dry conditions over recent months.

“We’ll continue to monitor the situation closely."
