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.

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 ar
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
