A Water Vlog, with Phil Alsop, Editor of Water Magazine

In this Water Vlog, Phil Alsop, Editor of Water Magazine, talks with Dr Magdalena Szczykulska, Hydro-Climate Modeller, UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH), as she discusses the findings of a new study from UKCEH scientists which shows that extreme soil moisture droughts in the UK – those lasting 90 days or more – are expected to occur more frequently under climate change.

This could have severe implications for farming, water availability and food security.
