0 An overview of the MaRIUS project, using footage from the day of the project’s showcase event on 2 November 2017, setting out the context for research into drought and water scarcity in the UK. https://youtu.be/ll4NZ5gxzOk
1 Helen Gavin welcomes people to the MaRIUS LIVE event: a mini conference (2 Nov 2017) that showcases the breadth of work and findings of the MaRIUS project, which examines the Risks and Impacts of Drought and Water Scarcity in the UK. https://youtu.be/cQMrwPe4jQk
2 Trevor Bishop, Director, Ofwat, gives the opening address for the MaRIUS LIVE conference.  His talk sets out the importance of this research in the current regulatory and policy landscape. https://youtu.be/NX2udZIjEKQ
3 Jim Hall sets the stage for the meeting, outlining the purpose of workshop and providing a summary overview of the MaRIUS project, within the NERC Drought and Water Scarcity Programme. https://youtu.be/ecicGf6uCsU
4 Bettina Lange introduces the social science work undertaken in the project. https://youtu.be/fP8n4L-usD8
5 Kevin Grecksch outlines findings from work exploring Drought Management Options and from interviews with water resource practitioners. https://youtu.be/3pwxv2vZ_J8
6 Catharina Landström outlines the research focusing on community involvement on the local geographical scale. She will summarise the outcomes of a transdisciplinary Environmental Competency Group activity examining water management in the River Kennet. https://youtu.be/ap4SgP4Eop4
