Diffuse pollution in the urban environment (SUDS)

Sustainable urban drainage systems SUDS, or sustainable urban* drainage systems are a sequence of water management practices and facilities designed to drain surface water in a manner that will provide a more sustainable approach than what has been the conventional practice of routing run-off through a pipe to a watercourse. * The use of the word 'urban' is frequently omitted, but the meaning is s

Improving urban waters

Our vision is for towns and cities to use nature-based, blue-green solutions to absorb and safely convey rainwater. This will: help strengthen their resilience to the intense downpours they face under climate change minimise the risk of polluting sewage spills by keeping rainwater out of sewers create fantastic places for people to live and work Urban wastewaters Over the past 20 years, SEPA has

Diffuse pollution

Summary of rural and urban diffuse pollution issues in the environment.

Summary of rural and urban diffuse pollution issues in the environment. Sources of diffuse pollution are often individually minor, but collectively can result in significant environmental damage. Diffuse pollution is the release of potential pollutants from a range of activities that, individually, may have no effect on the water environment, but, at the scale of a catchment, can have a significant effect. Problems occur in both rural and urban environments. Rural pro

Shellfish water protected areas

Legislation directs SEPA to assess and classify each shellfish protected area. To deliver this we work closely with Food Standards Scotland (FSS). FSS sample, analyse and report water quality in production areas throughout the year to ensure shellfish are safe for consumption, or determine if they require further treatment. At the end of each year FSS provide SEPA with this data who use it to clas

Inner Clyde Estuary monitoring buoy, Firth of Clyde

Continuous water quality monitoring equipment was deployed in the inner Clyde estuary adjacent to Govan in 2011. Low dissolved oxygen concentrations are known to occur in the inner Clyde estuary at this location as a result of the decomposition of organic wastes from discharges and urban run off. Limited mixing between fresh water and more dense saltwater leads to large differences between the sal
