This shows the indicative area that may flood from an uncontrolled release of water from all possible dam failure scenarios....

Depth Provides an indication of the potential depth of flood water. Even shallow floodwater can be dangerous and can impact you and your property. Areas where there is not currently sufficient information to show the depth of floodwater are coloured grey....

A full list of RBMP publications. Velocity Indicates the speed of flood water and the direction in which it is travelling within Potentially Vulnerable Areas (PVAs). Velocity direction is available only within the river flood maps. It is sampled at a 150m resolution therefore cannot be used to identify detailed flow pathways. The velocity displayed on the river flood map shows the general speed and direction of flood water over a

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

The SEPA Marine National Environmental Monitoring Buoy Network provides real time, high frequency environmental data from strategic locations around the coast, as part of SEPA obligations to monitoring the marine environment. What is being monitored? Continuous monitoring equipment gathers dissolved oxygen, water temperature, salinity and chlorophyll-a data at regular intervals. The data is stored
