For the third time this year, eastern Scotland is facing the threat of significant water scarcity on its rivers.
SEPA’s weekly report shows the River Don, Esk and Tay could hit critical levels within two weeks.

Scottish Water has ruled out the possibility of hosepipe bans, as it continues to monitor its reservoirs.
Meanwhile, wildfire warnings will blanket much of the country from next week.
