The main bedrock aquifers exploited for public water supply are the Permian Basin of Dumfries (Robins & Ball 2005), the Devonian aquifer in Fife (Ó Dochartaigh et al. 1999), the Longman Landfill Site in Inverness (Bannerman & Johnstone, 1993) and the Permian sediments in western Arran (Ball & Buckley 1998). High yielding supplies from superficial deposits are found in Fort William (Johnstone & Rennie 1991), the Spey Valley (Watt et al. 1987) and Howden, in the Borders (see Fig. 4).
