			===Scotland's vital groundwater===
	Groundwater occurs almost everywhere in Scotland. It is a key water source for drinking, agriculture, industry (including the bottled water and whisky sectors), and recreation (including golf course irrigation), and therefore plays an important role in Scotland's economy. Groundwater is also vital to the health of Scotland's environment, supporting surface water ecosystems, helping to dilute and assimilate contaminants, and mitigating flooding.
