Rivers are a vital part of our landscape and a great asset to Scotland. They provide wildlife corridors, opportunities for recreation and wellbeing and resources for farming, drinking water, beverage production and hydroelectricity.
Like many of our natural resources our rivers are under pressure and in places, damaged. This includes straightened and embanked channels which are cut off from

Monitoring
We have three categories of monitoring which have different but complementary purposes: surveillance, operational and investigative. This strategy ensures we are collecting the right information in the right place and allows us to concentrate our effort on the greatest risks to the environment.

We have many years of experience in monitoring and protecting the aquatic environment.
In 2007, the Water Framework Directive (WFD) introduced the need for a broader, more holistic approach to monitoring and classifying Scotland’s aquatic environment.
Its aim is to use data collected to protect and improve water bodies in order that they meet good ecological status, or similar objective.

Developing our flooding knowledge
We are continually working to develop and improve our knowledge on flood risk and flooding impacts and to identify new technologies to better support our flooding work.
We are continually working to develop and improve our knowledge on flood risk and flooding impacts and to identify new technologies to better support our flooding work.
As the strategic flood risk management authority in Scotland we are continually working to develop and improve our knowledge of the sources and impacts of flooding. We have developed a knowledge base of methods, guidance and summaries that may be useful to responsible authorities, academic projects and consultants delivering flood risk management projects, which can be accessed below.

Airborne Hazards Emergency Response (AHER)
The Hertfordshire Oil Storage Terminal fire in 2005, also known as the Buncefield incident, highlighted the need for a specialised unit to coordinate the response to such air pollution events. This led to the creation of the Air Quality Cell (AQC) for England and Wales followed by the Airborne Hazard Emergency Response (AHER) in Scotland.
During major incidents it is AHER that ensures a comprehens
Position Statement: Elevated buildings in areas of flood risk
What is an elevated building?
A building where structures such as pillars or stilts are used to raise it above the expected flood water level. The ground below the building remains at risk of flooding and allows for the free flow of water.
