Strategic Environmental Assessment
Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a systematic process for identifying, reporting, proposing mitigation measures and monitoring environmental effects of plans, programmes and strategies. It aims to ensure that environmental issues are taken into account at every stage in the preparation, implementation, monitoring and review of plans, programmes and strategies of a public nature.

Contaminated land
The management and remediation of contaminated land that, in its current state, is causing or has the potential to cause significant harm or significant pollution of the water environment, is regulated by legislation contained within the Environmental Protection Act (1990) known as Part IIA. We have certain responsibilities within the scope of this legislation to regulate activities and assist in the management and remediation of contaminated land.

Contaminated land can present significant threats to the environment and risks to users of the land.
Land can become contaminated by a variety of substances, from heavy metals to agricultural waste. The environmental, financial and legal implications of this can be substantial.

BETA Flooding
Our flood maps are designed to help you understand how you could be affected by flooding. The maps show you areas which are likely to flood from rivers, the sea and surface water. The flood maps are a public tool and used by a wide variety of people for a range of work.

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....

Water environment hub
The tool provides information on current condition and future targets for rivers, lochs, coastal waters and groundwaters.
Classification information
The most detailed and up to date classification information for all parameters is available in our water classification hub. This has maps of all results, along wit
Nitrates monitoring
Our groundwater monitoring networks ensure that Scotland’s groundwater supplies are adequately protected.
SEPA’s nitrate monitoring network aims to identify areas affected by nitrate pollution, or at risk of being affected, and to find out if any improvement actions taken to address nitrate problems are effective.
To achieve these aims, SEPA currently monitors 270 groundwater sites across Scotland
Velocity
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
