In the DRY Story Bank, we have created a searchable database of stories shared in different formats (short sound bites, text narratives and digital stories – audio and images). We gathered the stories during our research and engagement processes, working with people within our seven case-study catchments during the DRY project. Each story has a summary, transcription and tags.
Click the Explore button to search the database and visualise data extracted from the stories. This will allow you to find out more about people’s perceptions and experiences of drought and water shortage in the UK, their ways of coping and adapting, their water behaviours and more….
